The pharmacogenetics course is designed to introduce graduate students, medical students, and pharmacy students to this emerging area of interest, indicting how hereditary mechanisms influence drug responses in humans. The lectures, examples, discussions, and journal presentations will provide the students with a working knowledge of the domains of pharmacology, how heredity influences any response traits, and the ways that advances in genome technologies support our emerging understanding of how polymorphic genetic variants determine inter-individual differences in drug responses. The course will include lectures, discussions, and journal article presentations by students.
