The Precision Medicine Initiative

The Precision Medicine Initiative is a research effort aimed at customizing healthcare based on individual differences, such as genetics, lifestyle, and environment. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, it seeks to develop personalized treatments and prevention strategies that are more effective for each person. By studying large groups of people and their unique biological information, scientists can better understand why diseases develop and tailor interventions accordingly. The goal is to improve health outcomes, reduce side effects, and make medicine more precise, efficient, and suited to each person's specific needs.
