Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pharmacogenomics is a growing backbone of personalized medicine, reshaping drug therapy by accounting for individual genetic variation. With advances in genomic technologies and bioinformatics, clinicians can now better predict drug response, minimize or even prevent adverse drug reactions, and select the most effective treatments tailored to each patient’s genetic profile.
This Special Issue will explore the translational and clinical applications of pharmacogenomics across a broad spectrum of medical fields, including cardiology, psychiatry, oncology, infectious diseases, rare disorders, and beyond. We invite original research articles, reviews, case studies, and methodological papers that examine key areas such as the detection and characterization of novel or known pharmacogenomic variants, their interaction with other drugs (drug–gene interactions), clinical implementation strategies, pharmacogenomics across admixed populations, regulatory frameworks, and ethical considerations.
Particular interest will be given to submissions focused on drug–gene interactions, pharmacogenomic biomarkers, multi-omics integration, and the role of pharmacogenomics in addressing health disparities and advancing precision therapeutics.
By bringing together insights from academia, clinical practice, and industry, this Special Issue aims to highlight the current landscape, innovations, and practical challenges in applying pharmacogenomics to achieve safer, more effective, and individualized patient care.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Pharmaceuticals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
