Phil Empey Pharmacogenomics
Pharmacogenomics-guided Care to Improve the Safety and Effectiveness of Medications (PreCISE-Rx)
Objective: To predict of individual patient phenotypes by integrating genomics and clinical variables to improve medication outcomes of the population. Approach: Phased, standard of care implementation using panel based genotyping to lay scalable foundation for broad clinical impact and research ROI. Pilot hypothesis: Pharmacogenomics-guided therapy individualization is clinically feasible at Pitt/UPMC; specifically, that CYP2C19 variants are detectable in our patients and that point-of-care interventions can be accomplished
