Committee Purpose

To promote the knowledge about clinically relevant DNA testing to optimize drug therapy
To enhance the translation of research into clinical practice
To encourage discussions on the clinical relevance of specific pharmacogenetics tests, to encourage research into clinically important areas with respect to drug treatment
To encourage interaction between pharmacologist and toxicologist to promote "toxicogenetics"
