Abstract
Genomic approaches are the basis for proposing personalization of medicine, a philosophy that customizes healthcare using molecular analysis to guide medical decisions tailoring them to individual patients. Specific treatments will be prescribed only to patients who will positively respond to them, avoiding additional suffering and costs and focusing on therapies that better suit each particular case. This chapter briefly revisits the current state of the art of genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and pharmacogenomics and proposes that greater emphasis on phenomics will possibly accelerate discovery and implementation of a healthcare system that utilizes molecular information for bedside care.
