Individualized Medicine

Our unique genetic blueprints affect our risks for illness and how our bodies respond to disease. Each person who has a disease reacts to that disease in his or her own way. Treatment, therefore, must be equally individual. Research physicians at Mayo Clinic are working fervently to unlock the one tenth of 1 percent in our genetic makeup that holds the key to our individuality. Bringing significant resources to advance individualized medicine presents the greatest opportunity of the century for the detection, prevention, treatment, and hopefully eradication of diseases.
