Precision medicine requires precision drugs that match the needs of individual patients. An ideal drug, popularly referred to as the "magic bullet", should be effective without causing any unwanted side effects. To do this, drugs must act solely on the target of the disease.

As such, it will be of interest to personnel involved in drug development at pharmaceutical and biotech companies and academic institutions.
