Abstract
Precision medicine will become the newest hot topic in the research world. The director of the prestigious NIMH, Tom Insel, explained two weeks ago in his blog: ?President Obama spoke about precision medicine in his State of the Union speech?on January 20, his budget released today requests $215M for precision medicine, and NIH just announced plans for a study of a million or more volunteers to explore precision medicine. What precisely is it? The White House website? has a useful definition: getting the right treatment at the right time to the right person?.
