The president of the United States, Barack Obama, announced today in his speech of the State of the Union a precision medicine initiative that will open "a new era" and bring the cure of diseases to the world, such as cancer and diabetes.

"Tonight, I will launch a precision medicine initiative that will bring us closer to cure diseases such as cancer and diabetes," Obama said in his penultimate speech of the State of the Union as president and before a congress under republican control.

Obama invited the country "that eliminated the polio and discovered the sequence of the human genome," he said, to open "a new era in the field of medicine" and "to be able to provide proper treatment at the right time."

To open this new chapter, the President asked Congress to increase investments in research and development (R&D) and in precision medicine, an innovative field that offers tools and knowledge to adapt treatments to patients.

The president also asked the Congress to double the federal investment that allocates to the investigation of new antibiotics with the aim of curbing the "worldwide threat" of infectious diseases.

Likewise, he asked to continue investing in research on the brain, and especially, about the circumstances surrounding Alzheimer's disease, which is another of the projects for which Obama has requested the economic support of the Congress.EFE

Many people think that you have to settle for diabetes, that you have to accept it, as if nothing could change.The truth and truth is that throughout history many diseases have been cured and, one day, there will also be a cure for diabetes.Hopefully we can all see it.
