Pharmacogenomic and Precision Medicine
The "Pharmacogenomics and Precision Medicine" course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of how genetic variations impact drug response and efficacy in clinical contexts. It explores the historical development, fundamental concepts, and clinical significance of pharmacogenomics. The course covers various aspects, including the role of genetic factors in drug response variability, genetic determinants in drug pharmacokinetics, the influence of genetic variability in drug receptors, and pharmacogenomics in specific diseases.
Additionally, it delves into the use of information technologies in pharmacogenomics, ethical considerations in research, the application of gene expression data, and skills in Next-Generation Sequencing data analysis. This course aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to apply pharmacogenomic principles in clinical and research settings.
