Inside Precision Medicine June 2, 2023
Cloud computing has provided storage and computational resources at the scale necessary to harness the power of massive health datasets, and, with AI, has enabled researchers to make discoveries underlying cutting edge precision medicine. But some hurdles remain.
After the human genome was sequenced in 2003, it was another 11 years, via the landmark cancer research by Eric Lander and colleagues at the Broad Institute and large programs such as the Precision Medicine Initiative in the U.S., before the avalanche of genomic data being gathered began to mature from experimental use to actionable clinical insights.
