November 2019 Featured Investigator

Meghan Chenoweth, PhD

Postdoctoral Fellow
University of Toronto
Dr. Chenoweth is a Postdoctoral Fellow with Dr. Rachel Tyndale in the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology at the University of Toronto. Dr. Chenoweth’s primary research interests are in the fields of addictions, mental health, and pharmacogenomics. Dr. Chenoweth uses genome-wide approaches to identify genetic factors associated with cigarette smoking-related biomarkers, including a highly heritable measure of the rate of nicotine metabolism that has been shown to prospectively predict smoking cessation treatment outcomes...
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.​​
