Talk
PGx – This Old Dog’s New Tricks
Despite guidelines, technology cost decreases, select EMR integration and payer acceptance – PGx is far from routine care. As the evidence has matured, the market has also evolved with opportunities at the intersection of Value-Based Care and Precision Medicine.This conversation will discuss the field’s progress and opportunity dynamics across stakeholders.


 Session Abstract – PMWC 2023 Silicon Valley

Track 1 - January 27 9.00 A.M.-4.15 P.M.


Track Co-Chair:
Mary Relling, St. Jude

Pharmacists have long recognized that using unique patient characteristics to guide pharmacotherapy decision-making can improve drug response and mitigate drug-associated risks. Age, weight, and dietary habits were among the first patient-specific characteristics used to individualize pharmacotherapy. As technologies advanced, analytic tools that measure surrogate markers of liver and renal function, together with drug concentrations in biological fluids, were adopted to optimize therapeutic regimens. Cutting-edge genomic technologies are now being integrated into patient care for the selection of targeted therapies and identification of those at increased risk of poor pharmacotherapy outcomes. We’re excited to bring together experts who are advancing pharmacogenomics at scale through cutting edge clinical implementation, research, and education.
