Motivated by the explosion of molecular data on humans-particularly data associated with individual patients-and the sense that there are large, as-yet-untapped opportunities to use this data to improve health outcomes, Toward Precision Medicine explores the feasibility and need for \""a new taxonomy of human disease based on molecular biology\"" and develops a potential framework for creating one. The book says that a new data network that integrates emerging research on the molecular makeup of diseases with clinical data on individual patients could drive the development of a more accurate classification of diseases and ultimately enhance diagnosis and treatment. The \""new taxonomy\"" that emerges would define diseases by their underlying molecular causes and other factors in addition to their\n\nToward Precision Medicine\nBuilding a Knowledge Network for Biomedical Research and a New Taxonomy of Disease\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK ;
