Abstract

Molecular biology and genomics — the basis of health and the future of precision medicine. The contemporary strategy of world medicine is not only personalized medicine based on evidence, on the patient’s profile, but genotype, phenotype, type of metabolism, and environmental factors. We can say that precision medicine will be the medicine of the future. We will also have science — medical nanogenomics. This will be the treatment reform of human medicine
