When President Obama announced the Precision Medicine Initiative at the State of the Union in 2015, it recognized more than a decade of work that scientists and medical researchers had already committed to identify the underlying genetic causes of diseases and specific pathways to treatment. To date, there have been measurable gains in the application of precision medicine approaches across a series of therapeutic...
