Jordan Smoller, MD ScD: Precision Psychiatry and the Mental Health Treatment Revolution (Inside Precision Medicine)

Precision medicine is an innovative approach to healthcare that customizes treatments and prevention strategies based on an individual’s unique genetics, environment, lifestyle, and health history. Unlike traditional medicine’s one-size-fits-all approach, precision medicine uses advanced tools like genomics, biomarkers, and data analytics to identify which treatments will be most effective for specific patients.

 In this article published in Inside Precision Medicine, Jordan Smoller, MD, ScD, Director of the Psychiatric and Neurodevelopmental Genetics Unit at Massachusetts General Hospital discusses the future of precision psychiatry, including his research focusing on the development of clinically useful computational tools for the prediction and early detection of psychiatric disorders and suicidal behavior.
