Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue titled “Pharmacogenomics and Personalized Treatment” investigates the rapidly growing field of pharmacogenomics, focusing on how genetic variations affect drug efficacy and toxicity, with significant implications for the development of personalized treatment strategies. This Special Issue will emphasize key research areas, including gene-drug interactions, pharmacogenomic biomarkers, ethical, legal, and social implications, and AI and machine learning in pharmacogenomics, to facilitate the integration of genetic data into clinical practice, leading to more effective, safe, and individualized treatments for patients.
The aim of this issue is to stimulate discussion on the integration of pharmacogenomic data into routine clinical practice while addressing the challenges associated with their implementation.
We encourage submissions that explore innovative methodologies, case studies, and those examining the future of pharmacogenomics in the modeling of personalized healthcare settings.
