• Summary:"The personalized medicine revolution explores recent advances in genomics, the study of the human genome -- as well as its cousins proteomics, metabolomics, microbiomics, and the like -- and explains how technology is even now changing the way medicine is delivered. Along the way, it takes the reader through the five critical healthcare areas that will be transformed most radically by personalized medicine -- prediction, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring -- and examines the practical and ethical issues involved. Finally, it details how readers can use personalized medicine to take charge of their own health and build a stronger and safer medical system."--Publisher description.
