Paving the Way for Precision Health
This research paper examines the growing role of genomics in transforming healthcare, particularly through applications such as personalized medicine, predictive diagnostics, pharmacogenomics, and gene therapy. It also highlights how advances in genome sequencing and biomedical research are enabling more targeted therapies and improving clinical outcomes. With India’s increasing focus on genomics, supported by initiatives such as large-scale sequencing programs and expanding research infrastructure, it explores the scientific and commercial potential of genomics within the country’s healthcare ecosystem.
It analyses the evolving legal and regulatory landscape governing genomics in India, including frameworks relating to gene therapy regulation, biosafety, genetic testing, data protection, and intellectual property. It also discusses emerging policy initiatives and compares India’s regulatory approach with international jurisdictions, while highlighting key legal, ethical, and compliance challenges associated with genomic data, consent, and innovation in the life sciences sector.
