A group of researchers say they have come up with a new roadmap for making personalized drugs available to patients in the near future.
The team said the technology is already available to make drugs tailored to the chemistry of individual patients. These so-called precision, or personalized, drugs are based on data such as genetic code. It is hoped these drugs will work better with people’s unique body chemistry, providing more effective treatment, and fewer side effects, than mass-produced medicines.
