Biotherapeutics is the direct application of biotherapeutics derived from living organisms within the treatment of disease. Such substances are endogenous or produced in the laboratory. It is a new concept in the field of medicine that manages to change the treatment protocols aimed at patients with similar conditions to each person’s broad biological profile and aims at precision medicine. This area combines genomic sciences and biotechnology, and data science-based treatments are aimed to be more effective but with fewer adverse effects than the conventional approach. With growing knowledge of the dysregulation of diseases, we have also succeeded in the design of therapies that target such diseases at the molecular level and create possibilities for previously unmanageable diseases.

The Definition of Precision Biotherapeutics
The main aim of precision biotherapeutics is to develop treatment persuasion factors based on an individual’s genetics, surroundings, and personal habits. Typical of conventional medicine where treatments are more or less homogenized and banners standard way, for instance, precision biotherapeutics is applied in regards to the unique biological characteristics of every patient.
For instance, in cancer treatment, precision biotherapeutics focus on identifying genetic mutations driving a tumor’s growth. Rather than using indiscriminate cytotoxic approaches such as chemotherapy, which injures not only the cancerous tissues but also normal cells, precision biotherapeutics aims to treat these mutations with the help of monoclonal antibodies, small-molecule inhibitors, or other gene-modifying tools such as CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats). This precision avoids unnecessary injury to normal structures and improves the chances of successfully treating the patient.

Key Components and Technologies
Technological and conceptual features are at the center of precision biotherapeutics development. Genomics is one of the most important studies used in precision biotherapeutics because decoding the human genome, which was accomplished in 2003, led to large-scale genomic research that has found multiple genetic factors responsible for diseases.
