Abstract
Historically blood transfusion and organ transplantation were the first personalized therapies as they were matched to the individuals. Some cell therapies that use patient’s own cells are considered to be personalized medicines particularly vaccines prepared from the individual patient’s tumor cells. More recently recombinant human proteins might provide individualization of therapy. The number of biotechnology-based therapeutics introduced in medical practice is increasing along with their use in a personalized manner (Jain 2012).
