Described herein are various systems and methods for customizing cell culture media for optimized cell proliferation based on genetic traits of the cells. Factors of the cells, such as genetics, can determine the optimum cell culture conditions for growth and use of individual cells in vitro. In certain embodiments, genetics can determine sensitivity from a toxic perspective. In certain embodiments, genetics can determine what concentration(s) of growth factor(s) and nutrient(s) are required for optimum growth.
