Follow our page for updates on individualized, also known as precision or personalized medicine. Individualized medicine,means tailoring diagnosis and treatment to each patient to optimize care. Patients have experienced this kind of care for a century and a half at Mayo Clinic, where teams of specialists have always worked together to find answers.Now, at a time when we can routinely sequence a whole human genome and better understand the function of genes that form part of our genome, individualized medicine at Mayo Clinic has been taken to the molecular level. We're using unique genetic code to more effectively and precisely diagnose, treat, predict and eventually prevent disease.And that's what the Center for Individualized Medicine is all about — solving the clinical challenges of today and tomorrow by bringing the latest discoveries from the research laboratory to the doctor's fingertips in the form of new genomics-based tests and treatments.
