The Precision Medicine Journey

🩸

Patient Biopsy

Tissue sample collected from patient tumor or affected organ

🧬

Organoid Growth

Patient cells grown into mini-organ that matches their biology

💊

Drug Testing

Multiple drugs tested on the patient's organoid in parallel

🤖

AI Analysis

Machine learning predicts optimal treatment and dose

Personalized Rx

Patient receives drug proven to work on their specific cells

NAMs Powering Personalization

🧬

Patient-Derived Organoids

Mini-organs grown directly from patient tissue that retain the genetic and cellular characteristics of the original tumor or organ. Can be stored and used for multiple drug tests.

Real World Use
Cancer patients have their tumor organoids tested against 50+ drugs to find the one that works best
👤

Personalized Digital Twins

Virtual models built from individual patient data including genomics, medical history, and biomarkers. Can simulate drug responses before real treatment.

Real World Use
Cardiac patients get digital twins that predict arrhythmia risk with specific medications
🤖

AI Drug Matching

Machine learning algorithms that analyze patient biomarkers, genetic variants, and historical data to predict drug efficacy and side effects.

Real World Use
AI identifies which depression patients will respond to specific antidepressants based on brain imaging
🧬

Pharmacogenomic Testing

Genetic tests that reveal how a patient will metabolize specific drugs, helping determine the right dose and avoiding adverse reactions.

Real World Use
Patients get gene tested before blood thinners to determine correct warfarin dosing

Precision Medicine Success Stories

Cystic Fibrosis

Patient-derived organoids revolutionized CF treatment by allowing doctors to test which CFTR modulator would work for each patient's specific mutation before prescribing.
