2018 PGRN-ASHG Symposium
October 15-16, 2018 | San Diego Convention Center

The symposium explores current topics in pharmacogenomics with sessions on the role of genetics in drug development, pharmacogenetic implementation, multiple genome considerations, and precision drug therapy. On the second day there will be a joint session with ASHG focusing on drug development for rare genetics diseases and immunopharmacogenomics. 
The mission of the Pharmacogenomics Research Network (PGRN) is to catalyze and lead research in precision medicine for the discovery and translation of genomic variation influencing therapeutic and adverse drug effects.​​
​
All individuals interested in pharmacogenomics research may apply.
Funding opportunities from NHGRI
towards translating genomic & genetic research into understanding & treating human diseases

2018 October Featured Investigator

Jun J. Yang, PhD

Associate Member
Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences
Department of Oncology
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
​Dr. Yang’s research program at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital focuses on the genetic basis for inter-patient variability in anti-cancer drug response and toxicity. His group is particularly interested in pediatric leukemia as a model disease for our pharmacogenomics research with the long-term goal of applying genetics-guided individualized therapy..
