Development of personalized medicine for these diseases is a major challenge currently faced by scientists and clinicians. Personalized medicine-based approaches target specific treatments and therapies for a particular individual based on that individual’s molecular data or genetic makeup, and represents a fundamentally different approach from the conventional practice of prescribing general drugs for patients who share similar disease symptoms Sarojini S, Tamir A, Stephen Suh K (2012) Public Awareness is Essential for Bio-Banking and Development of Personalized Medicine.
