Legal challenges in precision medicine

Many diseases do not have a proven means of prevention or effective treatments. President Obama’s Precision Medicine Initiative (PMI) announced in January 2015 hopes to remedy that by finding new treatments using the PMI medical model that proposes a customization of healthcare, with medical decisions, practices, and/or products being tailored to the individual patient’s genetic makeup and other patient-specific factors. This conference discusses the emerging legal challenges of transitioning the practice of health care to the PMI model.
