【 摘 要 】

Precision medicine holds significant promise for finding new ways to diagnose, prevent, and treat disease. In October 2017, Bill Gates and Francis Collins, thought-leaders in global health and genomics, respectively, jointly discussed shared perspectives in these arenas (1). A lot of the promise of precision medicine has yet to be realized (2), so, it is important that the global health community, itself facing challenges, enters this new era with its eyes wide open.
