Genentech and a ‘new era of personalised health care’

In this longform article, Politico’s David Himmel interviews Dr Mark Lee – scientist, medical oncologist and global head of Personalized Health Care, Product Development at Roche and Genentech, on the future and practice of personalised healthcare.

San-Francisco-based Genentech, an offshoot of Swiss multinational pharmaceuticals-diagnostics giant Roche, has ‘helped lay the scientific groundwork for personalised health care’.

Himmel describes personalised healthcare as going ‘beyond the one-size-fits-all approach to treating patients by considering each individual’s unique clinical history, genetics, and biological makeup to determine the best path of treatment, …[leading] to better patient outcomes with fewer negative side effects’.
