SUMMARY:The Future of Prescribing: Emerging Themes in Pharmacogenomics
DESCRIPTION:Pharmacogenomics\, the study of how an individual’s genetic makeup affects their body’s response to medicines\, is of increasing importance in healthcare and emerging research demonstrates how it may be utilised further in the future. Pharmacogenomic testing can guide prescribing decisions to improve therapeutic effectiveness and prevent adverse drug reactions. Pharmacogenomic insights have also informed the identification of novel therapeutic targets and have supported the repurposing of existing drugs for novel applications. \nIn this event\, we’ll hear from expert speakers on the current state of play and where we may be heading in the future. This event is aimed at healthcare professionals with an interest in pharmacogenomics\, particularly pharmacists and prescribers. \nDate and Time: Tuesday 2nd June 2026\, 12:00 – 13:00 \nCost: Free \nFormat: Online webinar \nLink to Register: Get free tickets – The future of prescribing: emerging themes in pharmacogenomics – Microsoft Teams
