Personalised medicine includes how a person responds to a drug and how a drug behaves.

What is it about?

Many people think that 'personalised medicine' is just matching a potential drug to a gene test in the laboratory. But it includes all the unique physiology of each patient, depending on their age, gender, other diseases etc and the unique behaviour of the drug, at different doses in different people. This wider definition is needed when we start to think about the right drug and the right dose for each patient we treat.
