title: Seeing patients through genetic lenses.
abstract: Biotechnology is changing how doctors 'see' patients and disease processes. Optical probes and computer-assisted genetic screening tools let researchers peer into the structure and functions of cellular proteins on a molecular level. Soon, this clearer vision of individual patients will be available in the clinic, making drug and biologic treatments safer. These new lenses will push medicine toward risk prediction and away from acute intervention.
