PHAGEX: Pharmacotherapy, Genomics and Exposomics Research Group
- Share:
The Pharmacotherapy, Genomics and Exposomics Research Group works to create multidisciplinary research projects combining pharmacology, genomics and environmental factors. Its main goal is to improve the safety and effectiveness of drug treatments.
Group work areas
- Pharmacogenomics and exposomics for therapeutic optimization.
- Prevention and reduction of toxicity and adverse drug reactions.
- Pharmacotherapy and environment as determinants of health.
