The director of the prestigious NIMH, Tom Insel, explained two weeks ago in his blog: ?President Obama spoke about precision medicine in his State of the Union speech?on January 20, his budget released today requests $215M for precision medicine, and NIH just announced plans for a study of a million or more volunteers to explore precision medicine.
