Democratizing Precision Medicine for Humanity
What is Precision Medicine?
Precision medicine, also known as personalized medicine, is an approach to medical treatment and prevention that takes into account individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle for each person. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, precision medicine aims to tailor medical decisions and treatments to the specific characteristics of each patient.
Key components of precision medicine include
Genomics
Analysis of a person’s genetic makeup to understand how their genes influence their health and response to treatment.
Biomarkers
Identification of specific molecular or genetic markers that can predict disease risk, progression, or response to treatment.
Data integration
Incorporating various types of data, including genetic information, clinical data, environmental factors, and lifestyle factors, to develop a comprehensive understanding of each patient’s health profile.
Targeted therapies
Developing treatments that target specific molecular pathways or genetic abnormalities associated with a particular disease, rather than using broad-spectrum treatments.
Precision medicine has the potential to revolutionize healthcare by enabling more accurate diagnosis, more effective treatments, and better outcomes for patients. It is increasingly applied in various fields, including oncology, cardiology, neurology, and rare diseases, among others...
Our Mission
Biovirtus works towards a future with genomic equity, democratizing access to precision medicine within Latin America, Caribbean and other unfavored populations, aiming to improve their health and quality of life.
Help people
One of our greatest aspirations is to help eliminate the diagnostic odyssey for people with limited resources and support them in finding appropriate therapeutic solutions.
