Which field studies how to tailor medical treatments to our genetic profiles?

  • Correct Answer: pharmacogenomics
  • proteomics
  • immunology

Explanation: We know that, thanks to our DNA, each of us is a little bit different. Some of those differences are obvious, like eye and hair color. Others are not so obvious, like how our bodies react to medication. Researchers are beginning to look at how to tailor medical treatments to our genetic profiles, in a relatively new field called pharmacogenomics . Some of the biggest breakthroughs have been in cancer treatment.
