Personalized Medicine: The Role of Genomics and Biomarkers

Personalized medicine is an emerging approach in medical biotechnology that aims to tailor medical treatments to individual patients based on their unique genetic and molecular characteristics. This manuscript provides a comprehensive overview of personalized medicine, focusing on the role of genomics and biomarkers. It explores the principles and techniques of genomics, highlighting its contribution to understanding disease mechanisms and identifying potential therapeutic targets, by discussing the importance of biomarkers in disease diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment response prediction. Furthermore, it examines the challenges and ethical considerations associated with personalized medicine and the future prospects of this field in improving patient outcomes.
