Personalized Medicine: from Genotypes and Molecular Phenotypes towards Computed Therapy.

Sequencing, genotyping, and large-scale phenotyping are currently available for a number of important patient cohorts and will soon be available as a result of routine medical practice. These molecular data, in conjunction with electronic medical records and rich, on-line resources, are setting the stage for truly personalized medicine. Personalized medicine promises to yield better disease classification, enable patient-specific treatment, and also allow for improved preventive medical screening. This session explores technical challenges and new opportunities that arise from the application of genome-scale experimentation for personalized genomics and medicine.
