Pharmacogenomics is the study of how genes affect an individual’s response to drugs. It focuses on optimizing personalized drug selection and dosage, monitoring, minimizing the risk of adverse drug reactions and thereby providing effective and safer treatments. This approach also diverge from the “one-size-fits-all” concept and aims on tailoring treatments according to an individual’s unique genetic profile.
