Course objectives
Pharmacogenomics deals with the study of genetic aspects of drug response variability. In this subject the students have chance to learn basic genetic factors which determine both drug effectiveness and side effects of this drug.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, the student will be able to identify and summarize important genetic factors that affect the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs. Will be able to interpret clinically significant polymorphisms and their effect on pharmacotherapy. Furthermore, the student will be able to describe and compare genetic examinations that are performed within the individualization of pharmacotherapy.
