Improve Outcomes with Clinical Application of Pharmacogenomics

By Jeff Briggs Jeff Briggs (@JeffreyBriggs)

  Your genes determine a lot about how you look. They also play a key role in how medications work in your body. We call that pharmacogenomics — the tailoring of drug treatments to an individual’s genetic makeup. Faithful readers of the Center for Individualized Medicine’s blog know that we have repeatedly come back to […]
