Is Modern Medicine Guesswork? | with Dr Lee Han Chung | TGCS x Precision Diagnostics

In this eye-opening episode of TheGoodCastShow, we sit down with Dr. Lee Han Chung, Laboratory Director at Precision Diagnostics, to explore the future of healthcare through precision medicine and pharmacogenomics.

Have you ever wondered why the same medication worksperfectly for some people but not for others? Could your genes be the reason your treatment is ineffective—or even harmful?

Dr. Lee breaks down the science behind pharmacogenomics, a revolutionary approach that uses your genetic profile to determine which medications and dosages will work best for you. Instead of relying on trial-and-error prescriptions, precision medicine helps doctors tailor treatments based on your unique DNA.

In this conversation, we discuss how genetic testing canreduce adverse drug reactions, improve treatment outcomes, and potentially transform the way healthcare is delivered in Malaysia and around the world.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

What precision medicine actually means

How pharmacogenomics determines your response to medications

Why traditional medicine often relies on trial and error

The role genetics play in drug metabolism and effectiveness

How genetic testing can reduce adverse drug reactions

Why this technology could revolutionize healthcare andreduce medical costs

Dr. Lee also explains how Precision Diagnostics’ PrecisePharmacogenomics (PGx) test analyzes approximately 1,000 genes linked to drug metabolism and around 500 medications, helping healthcare providers personalizetreatment plans with greater accuracy.

About Our Sponsor: Precision Diagnostics

Precision Diagnostics is a pioneering genomics companyfocused on advancing precision medicine through genome-wide pharmacogenomics testing.

Their flagship Precise PGx test helps identify how anindividual’s genetic makeup influences their response to medications. By screening genes responsible for drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, the company provides clinically actionable insights that allowdoctors to prescribe the right medication at the right dose for each patient.

Their mission is to move healthcare beyond aone-size-fits-all approach and toward personalized, data-driven medicine that improves outcomes and reduces adverse drug reactions.
