Precision medicine is a modern medical approach that uses advanced analytics, and big data to tlor diagnostics and treatments to individual patients based on their personal characteristics. The conventional methods of determining health outcomes are often skewed due to the predominance of male subjects in biological studies and clinical trials which neglects significant biological variations found among women.
Women possess unique biological systems, markers and determinants that differ significantly from men. These factors can also be influenced by societal, cultural, socioeconomic, and environmental variables. The recent advancements in understanding cellular functions and organismal processes have unlocked a vast trove of information about the intricacies of biological phenomena and disease mechanisms.
This wealth of data forms the backbone of precision medicine; within it lie the answers to predicting health outcomes, prevention strategies, and personalized treatment plans for diseases that disproportionately affect women. An enhanced comprehension of ger-specific factors impacting women's health will not only provide unique insights into conditions specific to women but also inform treatments for men, children, and the broader population.
By integrating molecular, clinical, and population health data, precision medicine achieve a profound understanding of an individual woman's health status, risk profile, and potential interventions. This deepened insight could potentially lead to novel disease classifications, diagnostic tools, prognostic assessments, and therapeutics that are specifically tlored for women.
In the vanguard of this eavor are several pioneering entities at UCSF:
The National Center of Excellence in Women's Health - a dedicated hub focused on advancing research and innovation med at improving health outcomes for women.
The Center for Maternal-Fetal Precision Medicine - integrating cutting-edge precision medicine techniques to enhance obstetrical care, with a particular emphasis on identifying risk factors specific to maternal-fetal health.
