n a way‚ personalized medicine has been around for as long as people have been practicing medicine. In fact‚ Hippocrates‚ Greek physician and so-called "Father of Western Medicine" who practiced some 2‚500 years ago‚ was himself a proponent of personalized medicine (Sykiotis et al.‚ 2005).

of the human anatomy is what limits us from witnessing what we currently think of as impossibilities. Rather‚ the lines which currently bound us are genetics; the root of the problem being the human DNA. Not every person with the same disease responds positively to the same treatment because of a genetic difference in their DNA. Hence‚ if given the proper technology to read a patient’s genetic sequence‚ doctors can modify a drug specifically to the patient’s needs. The study of personalized medicine

problem of medical discrepancies and life changing surprises may finally reach an end. With the constant research and discoveries in the medical field comes personalized medicine‚ a new way of dispensing and recommending medicine to patients through extensive research of profiling for genetic biomarkers and family medical history.

Everyday medicine today follows a standard protocol towards treatment – a trial and error process of which a physician provides a probable diagnosis and treatment; if this treatment fails‚ an alternative treatment is suggested (Pavelic et al‚ 2016‚ p. 5). This alternative treatment is often a simple dosage adjustment that is continuously altered until the right dosage is determined. Conversely‚ personalized medicine distinguishes itself from traditional treatment by a direct and exact diagnostic
