    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→Technological fixes for disease are directed at the genome rather than at the organism.

    Contemporary precision medicine explicitly integrates genomic, proteomic, environmental, and phenotypic data, targeting disease at multiple levels of biological organization simultaneously.

    Key Terms

    Genomic data(as used in precision medicine)
    Information about a person's genes and DNA—the biological instructions that make you who you are.
    Levels of biological organization(as used in biology and neuroscience)
    Different scales at which we can study living things, from tiny (molecules and cells) up to larger systems (organs, behavior, entire organisms).
    Phenotypic data(as used in precision medicine)
    Information about a person's observable characteristics—things you can actually see or measure, like height, weight, or whether they have a certain disease.
    Precision medicine(as the main subject of the statement)
    An approach to treating disease that tailors medical care to each individual person based on their unique biology and circumstances, rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

    Proteomic data(as used in precision medicine)
    Information about all the proteins in a person's body, which are molecules that do most of the work to keep you alive and healthy.
