Abstract

Molecular Medicine may rightly be called as ''Tomorrow's Medicine'' as its a new emerging field with great applause globally. It deals with the understanding of etiopathogenetic mechanisims of disease at the ultimate molecular and genetic level. The advances in recent technologies related to AI and Omics has immensely extended the scope opening of new vistas in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases with a strong bench to bedside approach in translational medicine. The new era of personalized and targeted therapies has revolutionalize the landscape of healthcare.
