Research Directions in Pharmacogenomics Implementation 

On May 2-3, 2017, the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) sponsored its 10th Genomic Medicine meeting - Genomic Medicine X: Research Directions in Pharmacogenomics Implementation  - at the Sheraton Silver Spring Hotel in Silver Spring, Maryland.

The objectives of the meeting were to:

  • Survey national landscape of research programs in pharmacogenomics implementation
  • Review current advances and clinical applications of pharmacogenomics
  • Discuss limitations and obstacles in pharmacogenomics clinical implementation
  • Identify evidence gaps and studies that are needed to address them
  • Design strategies for large-scale evaluation and implementation of pharmacogenomics in clinical care in the United States.
