Pharmacogenomics

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Pharmacogenomics evaluates how an individual's genome relates to a drug's effectiveness and safety, informing which treatments a gene profile suggests testing.

Show

A gene-expression change observed after drug exposure in a lab model can signal potential toxicity before human use.

Watch for

Pharmacogenomics predicts response from the genome; it is not the same as testing the drug itself for safety in trials.
