Personalized Medicine: The Breakthroughs, the Opportunities, and the Challenges:
With advancements in technology and science, we have not only a greater understanding of people and their various diseases, but we are also better understanding the human genome, and are making progress in creating personalized medicines to customize treatment and even preventive care for people.
But these advancements are also raising questions: what's the myth, and what's the science? What's in the research, blue-sky phase, and who is providing what REAL solutions now? And where's the money in it? What does it mean for the average person? Our panel will facilitate a discussion covering these topics and more.
