Pharmacogenomics is the study of the role of the genome in drug response. It analyzes how the genetic makeup of an individual affects his/her response to drugs. The Dr. Antoni Esteve Foundation organized its ninth Esteve Foundation Discussion Group by bringing together nine of the leading experts in the field the past 23 and 24 May 2019 in S’Agaró. During two days of work, they analyzed the latest advances and the challenges facing pharmacogenomics. Contributions that will be part of a next scientific article.
