What is the Role of Pharmacogenomics in Epidemiology?
Pharmacogenomics, the study of how genes affect a person's response to drugs, is a growing field in epidemiology. It aims to tailor pharmacotherapy based on genetic profiles to optimize drug efficacy and minimize adverse effects. Epidemiologists are involved in conducting population-based studies to understand genetic variations and their impact on drug response. This personalized approach to medicine holds promise for improving treatment outcomes.
