Role of Chemistry in Personalized Medicine

Abstract

Wellbeing of a person is a crucial factor in life which facilitates the performance of his or her day to day routine work in well-organized manner. However, it is a known fact that we all get sick and we need to take suitable medicines accordingly, as prescribed by clinicians. Even though millions of people are taking medications daily, they are found to be effective only on a part of the population who use them. Some drugs, such as ‘statins’ which are frequently used to lower cholesterol are known to be effective only on 1 in 50 patients.
