Description of Pharmacogenomics in Drug Discovery and Development


Pharmacogenomics is considered the future of drug therapy. It is a rapidly growing area in the recognition of the necessity of personalized medicine, a medicine that deals with the complexity of the human body. Because of the diversity of patients’ biological backgrounds, the same disease may be caused by genetic variations in different people, who will respond differently to the same drug. Such situations require individualized treatment that avoids adverse drug responses and ensures the best possible results. 

The evolution of biomedicine represents by pharmacogenomics developments from treating the disease itself to treating the malfunction of an individual person, the “root” of diseases. The transformation brings by pharmacogenomics from simple disease treatment to accurate prediction and effective prevention. For the drug discovery and development industry, pharmacogenomics is useful in identifying drug targets to obtain the optimal drug effi cacy for specifi c patient groups.
