As our knowledge of developing technology and human biology increases,
the need for changes in our perspectives on diseases and treatment modalities has
emerged. The individual variation of diseases at the molecular level has long led to the
abandonment of the one-fits-to-all approach. These changes at the molecular level are
illuminated using -omics technologies and are among the most powerful tools in
precision medicine. The discovery of new drug targets and biomarkers results in the
structural elucidation of targets. Thus, it has been possible to develop new drug
molecules as well as to select the appropriate drug for the target, the appropriate dose,
and, when necessary, the appropriate drug combination. Awareness of the changes in
diseases at the molecular level has also updated clinical research designs to make
precision medicine applicable. In this section, information and examples of
developments in precision medicine, diagnosis and treatment in precision medicine, as
well as -omics technologies and other technologies are presented.
