RFID and Nanotechlogy together given speed to a new branch of science called "Pharmacogenomics" which in layman terms means that the age of designer drugs is dawning upon us.
In Pharmacogenomics, doctors customize drugs to a person's unique genetic makeup and medical condition. These "designer drugs" can revolutionize the pharmaceutical industry by reducing the cost and length of clinical trials.
