We congratulate all participants for their excellent presentations of cutting-edge pharmacogenomics research.

Thank you for attending the 2018 PGRN-ASHG Symposium

The symposium held on October 15–16 explored 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 a joint session with ASHG focused 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.

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..
