News onPhilanthropy: Healthcare Philanthropy Down to the Molecule: "Healthcare Philanthropy Down to the Molecule

One of the biggest trends on healthcare these days is personalized medicine - a discipline that brings treatment to an individual based on her genetic makeup. It eschews the one size fits all style of 'big medicine' and aims to bring research advances very quickly to the bedside.

Today's announcement that the Andrea and Charles Bronfman Philanthropies have given $12.5 million to establish the Charles Bronfman Institute for Personalized Medicine at the Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York fits this new trend."
