Genomic Approach to Drug Discovery

The genomic approach to drug discovery involves utilizing genomic information and technologies to identify potential drug targets, develop new therapeutics, and personalize treatment regimens. This approach also facilitates the discovery of biomarkers that can aid in patient stratification and treatment selection, leading to personalized medicine approaches. Additionally, advances in genomic technologies, such as next-generation sequencing and genome editing tools like CRISPR-Cas9, have revolutionized drug discovery by enabling rapid and precise manipulation of genetic material for target validation and drug screening.
