Personalised Medicine - Made For You

Everyone is different, and treatment options increasingly reflect that. As we understand more about our genetic makeup, our varying response to conventional therapies means that we can design drugs and build devices tailored for individuals ('bespoke' rather than 'ready made'). This lecture considers the challenges that the NHS and its suppliers face in employing personalised medicine.The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/personalised-medicine-made-for-youGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.
