Nature Scientific Reports proposed a special issue entitled Pharmacogenomics for Precision Medicine (https://www.nature.com/collections/fhidgiiaaf/). Dr. Mayumi Ueta and Wei-Qi Wei will serve as the guest editors. The Submission deadline is the 14th of April 2023. eMERGE investigators are encouraged to submit.

“Healthcare is gradually moving away from a one-size fits all approach to a greater focus on patients as individuals. Precision medicine aims to identify subpopulations of patients that will best respond to specific treatments in order to optimise care. Pharmacogenomics, the study of genome variation in drug response, is a key tool in meeting this aim. This Collection will present recently identified genomic pathways, novel genetic biomarkers, and epigenetic signals that influence treatment outcomes for particular patient populations.”
