What is Precision Medicine?
precision medicine is "an emerging approach for disease treatment and prevention that takes into account individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle for each person.
medical care designed to optimize efficiency or therapeutic benefit for particular groups of patients, especially by using genetic or molecular profiling.
How did it all get started?
It all started when a genome was mapped in 2003.The achievement was the result of decades of genetic research, beginning with American geneticist Alfred Sturtevant's first gene map of the fruit fly in 1911.
What was the first Gene Map of?
a Drosophila Melanogaster Fruit flies
what is the difference between Precision Medicine and Personalized medicine?
"personalized medicine" uniquely for each individual based of personal needs; in "precision medicine", the focus is on identifying which approaches will be effective for which patients based on genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors.
What are other names for Precision Medicine?
individualized medicine and genomic medicine
What year did this President talk about Precision Medicine in one of his speeches?
In 2015 State of the Union address, and it was President Obama
Who were one of the Geneticist that helped create The First Gene Map
Alfred Sturtevant

Data Storage, Privacy Security, Data Relevance, culture, Ownership, Drug/Device industry, Healthcare Cost
What type of diagnosis does Precision Medicine need?
Precision medicine involves a molecular diagnosis of a disease and a medical plan personalized to be most effective based on your DNA and unique genetic variations.
What was the name of the project that deciphered the genome in three ways?
The name of the project is:
The Human Genome project which was an International Project that was part of The National Institue of Health.
What is the first step to making precision medicine ?
To figure out which genetic changes are in your cancer, you may need to have a biopsy.
which medicine is considered more of a practice than a science?
precision Medicine
What does Precision Medicine allow you to do or Delay?
This allows him or her to make behavioral changes to help stave off or delay the onset of a disease
what year did the Human Genome project start and end?
It all started in 1990 and ended in 2003
Who was the other person (teacher) that helped create the First Gene Map?
Thomas Hunt Morgan
