Learn how advances in biomedicine hold the potential to revolutionize drug development, drug treatments, and disease prevention: where are we now, and what does the future hold? This course will present short primers in genetics and mechanisms underlying variability in drug responses. A series of case studies will be used to illustrate principles of how genetics are being brought to bear on refining diagnoses and on personalizing treatment in rare and common diseases. The ethical and operational issues around how to implement large scale genomic sequencing in clinical practice will be addressed.

TOP REVIEWS FROM CASE STUDIES IN PERSONALIZED MEDICINE
This course really helped me understand the precision medicine in terms of genetic variants and its effects on drug metabolism and treatment. Thanks to Prof. Roden
This course offered an extensive and concise review of pharmacogenomics as a tool to provide personalized medicine to my patients.
It's very very very useful course and very interesting. I really gained and learnt many things which are very important and now I am very happy to learn.
Thank you! I think I'm going to review/re-take this course at least one more time as the lectures are really interesting and insightful.
