Historical and Ethical Aspects of Personalized Medicine

The road to personalized medicine is longer and much more tortuous than anyone imagined a decade ago. We find ourselves in the midst of an exciting era in medicine inwhich we can see that the promise of individualized prevention, early detection, and efficient treatment of diseases is possible. Realizing this goal will require innovative multidisciplinary approaches to address the scientific, commercial, and ethical challenges posed by these new technologies and techniques. Like many endeavors in research, the next milestone in the road may not be around the corner and might come from an unexpected source. Continued investments in high-quality research using both traditional and novel approaches in a wide field of study will be required to achieve these goals (from Am.J.Respir.Crit.Care Med. 186 (10):945-947, 2012).
