Extracting Knowledge from Science in Medicine

Extracting Knowledge from Science in Medicine " I talked about personalized medicine. I said that in twenty years we’re going to have what I call the “three-Ps medicines”: predictive, personalized, and preemptive. That’s my vision. And I really think that’s where science is going. A reporter then said, “Personalized—you mean that finally, in twenty years, I’ll have my own personal doctor?” No. That’s not what I meant: Tailored, individually tailored. But the key word is not personalized. The key work is preemptive. That’s different." National Institutes of Health (NIH) director Elias Zerhouni.
