The current tools to proactively guide and individualize immunosuppression in solid organ transplantation are limited. Despite continued improvements in post-transplant outcomes, the side effects of over- or under-immunosuppression are common. This review is intended to highlight recent advances in individualized immunosuppression. There has been a great focus on genomic information to predict drug dose requirements, specifically on single nucleotide polymorphisms of CYP3A5 and ABCB1. Furthermore, biomarker studies have developed ways to better predict clinical outcomes, such as graft rejection. The integration of advanced computing tools, such as artificial neural networks and machine learning, with genome sequencing has led to intriguing findings on individual or group-specific dosing requirements. Rapid computing allows for processing of data and discovering otherwise undetected clinical patterns. Genetic polymorphisms of CYP3A5 and ABCB1 have yielded results to suggest varying dose requirements correlated with race and sex. Newly proposed biomarkers offer precise and noninvasive ways to monitor patient’s status. Cell-free DNA quantitation is increasingly explored as an indicator of allograft injury and rejection, which can help avoid unneeded biopsies and more frequently monitor graft function.
