Pharmacogenomics - Drugs & Genes interact too! in Splash Spring 2016
Your DNA can have a lot to do with how well certain drugs work or won't work in your body. This opens up an entirely new field of medicine called pharmacogenomics, where certain therapies can be tailored to the individual patient depending on their genetic makeup.
