Overview
Pharmacogenomics is increasingly being recognised as a valuable way of reducing adverse drug reactions and improving drug effectiveness. This course aims to deliver up-to-date knowledge on how pharmacogenomics can be applied in clinical practice. The primary beneficiaries of the course will be drug prescribers with limited knowledge of pharmacogenomics. This course will be especially valuable for pharmacists, GPs and hospital physicians and nurse prescribers.
This in-person course facilitates opportunity for informal interaction and discussion with experts from across Europe. The faculty combines experts from genetics, pharmacology, pharmacy, laboratory science, all known for their teaching skills. As well as being of interest to individuals working in industry in diagnostics or therapeutics
