Du profilage des patients aux thérapies géniques, en passant par le diagnostic moléculaire et de nouvelles formes de vaccination, les possibilités ouvertes par la médecine personnalisée sont immenses. C'est aussi un enjeu considérable pour l'économie des systèmes de santé, et bien sûr pour les grandes firmes pharmaceutiques, qui ont dû repenser en profondeur leurs démarches de recherche et développement.
From risk profiling to gene therapy and molecular diagnostics, personalized medicine opens new, exciting fields to medical research. Not only is it good news for the patients: considerable improvements are at stake, both for health systems and pharmaceutical firms now struggling to reinvent themselves. But the road ahead is still full of obstacles.
