| With the completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003, the world-wide focus has shifted to converting this vast storehouse of information into innovative health care solutions. The ultimate promise is to ensure that every person has optimum health throughout their life. This promise is fulfilled by many parts, including adequate nutrition, clean water supplies, up-to-date immunizations and regular health screening. The part of the promise to be fulfilled by knowledge and information stemming from genomics and other ¿omics¿ is yet unfolding. The purpose of this paper is to review some of the progress made towards personalized medicine from the perspective of biomedical informatics. With respect to their usefulness on human health care, the vast and heterogenous storehouses of information are just beginning to be tapped. A major push from the Informatics community as it focuses on how to organize, synthesize and deliver information to providers and the public world-wide in an effective manner to demonstrate improved health is critical to realize the potential of personalized medicine. | |
