Personalized Medicine

Course Description

This course is focused on the multidisciplinary research and clinical context associated with the development of personalized health care delivery solutions. It will place particular emphasis on assessing opportunities identified by translational and operational research of the clinical settings that define the practical utility of personalized medicine. Accordingly, the clinical decision support systems (CDS)[JA1] being developed for clinical pharmacogenomics, specifically those that establish pharmacotyping in drug prescription, will play a central role in this course. Its content will cover innovative drug formulations and nanotheranostics, molecular imaging and signatures, medical genomics[JA2] , translational nanomedicine and informatics, stem cell therapy approaches, modeling and predictability of drug response, pharmacogenetics-guided drug prescription, pediatric drug dosing, pharmacovigilance and regulatory aspects, ethical and cost-effectiveness issues, pharmacogenomics knowledge bases, personal genome sequencing, molecular diagnostics, as well as information-based medicine. 3 credits Grading Letter graded (A, A-, B+, etc.)
