What Is Genomic Medicine?

‍Genomic medicine uses genetic information to guide medical care, incorporating DNA analysis into diagnosis, treatment selection, and disease prevention. This field combines genetics, bioinformatics, and clinical medicine to provide personalized healthcare based on an individual's unique genetic makeup.

Why is genomic medicine transformative?

• Precision treatment: Tailors therapies to genetic profiles.
• Preventive care: Enables early intervention for genetic risks.
• Drug optimization: Predicts medication responses and side effects.

Applications of genomic medicine

• Cancer treatment selection based on tumor genetics.
• Pharmacogenomics for medication management.
• Rare disease diagnosis through genetic analysis.
