Pharmacogenomics

Catalog description

Co-requisite(s): BIO 3000 . Pharmacogenomics is the study of how an individual’s genetic variation influences responses to drugs. This course will explore the relatively new trend to therapy tailored to the individual patient rather than “one drug fits all” to maximize efficacy while minimizing adverse reactions, the inter-individual differences in drug responses with emphasis on genetic and genomic factors, as well as ethical, regulatory and economic issues that impact drug therapies.
