Page "Biotechnology" Paragraph 28

Pharmacogenomics is the study of how the genetic inheritance of an individual affects his / her body's response to drugs.

It is a portmanteau derived from the words " pharmacology " and " genomics ".

It is hence the study of the relationship between pharmaceuticals and genetics.

The vision of pharmacogenomics is to be able to design and produce drugs that are adapted to each person's genetic makeup.
