Latest Medical Research and innovations in personalized medicine, lifestyle and wellness and modern medicine
Recent advances in medical research are reshaping healthcare by integrating genomics, digital health, AI, and biotechnology to offer more precise, predictive, and preventive care. Three key pillars driving this transformation are:
Personalized Medicine
Lifestyle & Wellness-Based Approaches
Modern (Conventional and Technological) Medicine
Personalized (Precision) Medicine
Genomic Medicine
- Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is being used to identify disease-causing mutations.
- Pharmacogenomics helps tailor drug therapy to genetic profiles (e.g., cancer chemotherapy, warfarin dosing).
- CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing is under research for genetic disorders like sickle cell disease and cystic fibrosis.
Cancer Precision Therapies
- Targeted therapies (e.g., HER2 inhibitors in breast cancer).
- Immunotherapy (e.g., checkpoint inhibitors for melanoma and lung cancer).
- CAR-T cell therapy for leukemia and lymphoma.
Liquid Biopsies
- A non-invasive method to detect circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) or exosomes, allowing for early cancer detection and monitoring.
AI-Powered Decision Support
- AI algorithms are being developed to interpret genomic data and suggest personalized treatment plans.
