Paul Cerrato says he first started researching precision medicine almost 30 years ago.
“Back then it wasn’t called precision medicine, but when I was in graduate school I did my final master’s thesis on ‘biochemical individuality’ – that was the buzzword,” said Cerrato, a healthcare journalist. “That was the beginnings of the thinking about personalizing care: trying to understand how each human body is different before they can figure out how to treat individuals.”
