Description

Personalizing Precision Medicine dives into the dynamic world of precision medicine and how it has evolved under the influence of the researchers, physicians, companies, payers, and patients who are translating vision to reality. Each aspect of this burgeoning field is illustrated in the context of scientific, clinical, commercial, and cultural milestones worldwide.

This should be your first read if you are a business leader interested in how to navigate the precision medicine space, a friend supporting a loved one with a cancer diagnosis, an educator trying to explain medical complexity today, or someone just curious how the explosion of personalized data and the convergence of historically separate stakeholders has transformed the global healthcare landscape for the healthy and the ill. Here, both the science and the human impact of precision medicine are united in a single, approachable volume.

Based on Pothier's decades of experience in precision medicine, her research into the evolution of the field, and over 100 interviews with industry leaders, physician thought leaders, and patients and their caregivers, Personalizing Precision Medicine highlights the triumphs and challenges of precision medicine on a global scale.
