PHAR 738 Pharmacogenomics and Biotechnology

This course is designed to introduce the theory and practice of pharmacogenomics and biotechnology. The genetic basis of variability in drug response can contribute to drug efficacy and toxicity, adverse drug reactions, and drug-drug interactions. The rationale for biotechnology-driven products and the main methods used to deliver and target biological drugs are discussed in this course as well as important concepts associated with biotechnology product handling, storage, and administration.
