"Pharmacogenomics embodies a new frontier in precision medicine, enabling us to fine-tune treatments to the genetic profiles of individual patients," says Dr. Catherine Oliver, PharmD, BCPS, DPLA ...

Pharmacogenomics looks at how a person’s body metabolizes a particular medication, if the medication will work for that patient, and the potential side effects the patient could face.

Pharmacogenomics is a tool that can assist providers in optimizing drug selection and dosing, help avoid costly adverse effects, and identify responders and non-responders to medications. New and ...

Our Pharmacogenomics and Transport micro-credential is a three-course series encompassing several aspects of pharmacogenomics from transport to current events incorporating cancer and nutrition. Each ...

Pharmacogenomics studies how the genetics of an individual impacts their response to drugs. It aims at better human health by personalizing treatment according to genetic composition. Also, it ...

Furthermore, pharmacogenomics can lead to better-informed decisions on medication pricing, focusing on the value of effective treatments, which can ultimately influence healthcare costs in a ...

Pediatric Pharmacogenomics & its Potential Use Pharmacogenomics is 'the study of the variability of the expression of individual genes relevant to disease susceptibility and drug response at ...

The vast majority of the human genome (>99%) is identical in the entire population; however, approximately 0.5% is variable. This variable region is what is targeted with pharmacogenomics.
