Precision Medicine at the Crossroads: The Role of Pharmacogenomics

Precision medicine is revolutionizing healthcare by tailoring treatments to an individual's specific characteristics, including their genetic profile. At the heart of this transformative approach lies pharmacogenomics, which plays a crucial role in identifying genetic variations that influence drug response.

By integrating genomic information into clinical decision-making, physicians can select medications and dosages that are most likely to be effective for each patient, while minimizing the risk of adverse reactions. However, as precision medicine advances, it faces challenges related to implementing Pharmacogenomics into routine clinical practice and addressing ethical considerations surrounding genetic data.
