Now the pursuit of "personalized medicine" is expected to get a major push from the incoming administration of President-elect Barack Obama. As a senator, Obama introduced legislation to coordinate the sometimes conflicting policies of government agencies and provide more support for private research. He remains keen on the idea.

"The president-elect has indicated his support for both advancing personalized medicine and increasing [research] funding," said Representative Patrick J. Kennedy, Democrat from Rhode Island, who has introduced legislation in the House that builds on Obama's.
