Explore how genetic variations influence drug metabolism and response in this 28-minute webinar presented by Dr. Steve Jackson from Thermo Fisher Scientific. Learn the fundamentals of pharmacogenomics and its integration with pharmacology to customize drug treatments for individual patients. Discover through case studies how pharmacogenomic testing demonstrates clinical utility in real-world healthcare settings. Understand how implementing pharmacogenomics can enhance drug efficacy, reduce adverse drug reactions, and lower healthcare costs for both patients and healthcare systems. Gain insights into the current applications and future potential of pharmacogenomics in shaping personalized medicine approaches. Examine practical strategies for healthcare providers and clinical researchers to incorporate genomic data into treatment decision-making processes. The presentation covers basic genetic principles affecting drug response, clinical implementation challenges, and cost-benefit analyses of pharmacogenomic testing programs. PACE credits are available for registered participants through May 2027.
