Abstract

Pharmacogenomics is a rapidly advancing field of science that studies how an individual's genetic makeup influences their response to drugs. This discipline has significant implications for personalized medicine, where treatments can be tailored to the genetic profile of each patient. Pharmacogenomics aims to optimize therapeutic efficacy and minimize adverse drug reactions by considering genetic variations in drug metabolism, receptor binding, and immune response. This article explores the role of pharmacogenomics in modern medicine, its application in clinical settings, and its potential for improving patient care. We also discuss challenges and future directions for this transformative field in precision medicine.
