ABSTRACT

Precision medicine has emerged as a transformative approach in modern healthcare, aiming to tailor medical treatment to individual characteristics by integrating genomic information, environmental factors, and engineering innovations. The rapid advancement in genomic sequencing technologies has revolutionized our understanding of complex diseases, leading to novel diagnostic tools and targeted therapies. Concurrently, engineering principles have enabled the development of therapeutic platforms such as CAR-T cells, synthetic biological circuits, and personalized drug delivery systems. This paper examines the evolving landscape of precision medicine, examining how genomics and engineering intersect to address disease etiology, improve patient outcomes, and redefine clinical practices. Key topics include advancements in genome sequencing, engineering approaches to disease modeling, ethical considerations, clinical applications, and the systemic challenges of implementation. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, precision medicine holds the potential to shift from a theoretical ideal to a practical, population-wide healthcare solution.
