Investing in Personalized Medicine

For today’s investors, an unprecedented pace of progress in science and medicine presents tantalizing opportunities to allocate capital toward companies that are helping to inaugurate a new era of personalized medicine.

Multi-cancer early detection technologies, multi-omic diagnostic strategies, targeted therapies, gene and cell-based therapies, gene editing treatments, artificial intelligence, and advanced computing platforms all promise to transform the future of health care. All can be applied to more closely target the right medical interventions to the right patients at the right times, making medicine more effective and efficient for everyone.

But the path to profitability is fraught with many challenges.
