World Precision Medicine Congress USA 2016 will bring together big pharma, big data, and healthcare providers to discuss the scientific, economic, and policy goals towards producing precise and genomic-based medicines. With the launch of President Obama’s Precision Medicine Initiative (PMI) this year, this is a market segment that is primed for growth similar to what was seen in the Orphan Drug marketplace. The entire healthcare industry is beginning to shift towards medicines tailored to an individual’s genetic make-up, spurred on by better and cheaper diagnostics and gene sequencing technologies.
