Applying Pharmacogenomics in Therapeutics

The implementation of pharmacogenomics in therapeutics offers the potential for clinicians and researchers to better predict the differences in drug response, resistance, efficacy, and toxicity and to optimize the treatment regimens based on these differences. With a focus on therapeutics based on the latest clinical evidence and guidelines, this book demonstrates how to apply the principles of pharmacogenomics in patient care. Patient case profiles elucidate the principles of pharmacogenomic biotechnology and testing and explain the concept of personal pharmacology. The book includes study questions and a summary of key points for each chapter.
