Guest biodharani Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 what is the tecnique used for pharmacogenomics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfson Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Pharmacogenomics is how an individual's genetic inheritance affects the body's response to drugs, the techniques would be spectroscopy, H.P.L.C. and E.C.P.L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisy Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 You'd probably also want to genotype the patient surely?...using RFLP or some other PCR based technique that would detect a polymorphism? It's individual polymorphisms that dictate drug response...so genotyping is the key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfson Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Yes E.C.P.L. and also to develop in vitro tests to link genotype with phenotype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hades Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 this is the field my s.o. is pursuing currently. . . interesting career to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexa Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Hm. You have to be careful where the drug comes from, too. Generic industry is not so big after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badchad Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 In addition the new focus is on gene chip and microarray. This is because there can be hundreds of genes involved in an individuals response to a given drug and/or disease. While the analysis becomes difficult, these techniques allow a scientist to survey a much larger number of genes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
