Legends of Longevity The Role of Precision Medicine in Healthcare with Dr. Anil Bajnath
In this conversation, Dr. Anil Bajnath discusses the evolving understanding of disease taxonomy and the impact of precision medicine on individualized treatment. He emphasizes that each person's molecular signature of disease is unique, influenced by various factors such as genetics, environmental exposures, and microbiome differences. This shift towards deep molecular phenotyping will redefine how we categorize diseases like diabetes and Alzheimer's, moving away from a one-size-fits-all approach to a more personalized healthcare model.
