Jammu, February 2, 2025: Gene therapy promises individualised management of disease for each patient, said Dr. Jitendra Singh, Union Minister of State for Science and Technology.
While inaugurating the Centre for Advanced Genomics And Precision Medicine at AIIMS Jammu, Dr Jitendra Singh, also Minister of State for PMO, said even if two individuals suffer from the same condition—be it cancer, kidney disease, or any other ailment—the treatment could be different in each case, guided by the individual’s unique genetic makeup, pre-existing susceptibilities and inherited vulnerabilities.”,
Set up in collaboration with 4 base Care, the Centre aims to usher in a new era of personalised medicine, leveraging cutting-edge genomic research to provide targeted treatment based on individual genetic profiles.

Underscoring the transformative potential of gene therapy, the Minister emphasised that with genomic advancements, doctors would no longer rely on a one-size-fits-all approach but would tailor treatments to maximise efficacy and specificity for each individual.
The newly launched Centre for Advanced Genomics & Precision Medicine places AIIMS Jammu among the front runners in India’s medical research landscape. By integrating genomic data with AI-driven diagnostics, the centre aims to enhance early disease detection, optimise treatment strategies, and reduce the trial-and-error approach in medical prescriptions.
Experts at the event noted that this facility would play a pivotal role in advancing precision oncology, cardiovascular genomics, and genetic screening for rare disorders.
