Vishal Lamba has spent years studying genetic biology and pharmacogenomics. Vishal Lamba earned his Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Tennessee while training at the prestigious St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis. Over the years he has become interested in precision medicine and how it can benefit patients. Precision medicine looks at a patient’s genetic makeup to develop a more targeted treatment plan.
A major benefit of precision medicine is being able to tailor treatments to specific individuals rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Doctors are better able to analyze each patient's genetic makeup and previous medical history to customize a specific treatment plan to fit into individual needs. The use of precision medicine will also ensure that you are receiving the right treatment at the right time to help maximize the benefits of the treatment. Being able to create a customized treatment plan based on each's need can increase the survival rate in patients with some of the deadliest diseases.
The implementation of precision medicine in healthcare will help doctors, hospitals, and healthcare companies save money by being more efficient while lowering patient costs. Vishal Lamba is a scientist who has been studying the benefits of precision medicine for several years.
