The London Genetics Pharmacogenetics Conference 'Harnessing Genetic Knowledge To Improve Clinical Development and Patient Care', was attended by biopharmaceutical industry executives, as well as academics, regulatory experts and leading geneticists. Debates and conclusions from the conference, covering topics such as improvement of drug safety and the need to show cost-effectiveness, are expected to be covered in a forthcoming publication.

By working with us throughout the drug development process biopharmaceutical companies will gain the value of the pharmacogenetics expertise they need to increase productivity, as well as drug safety, efficacy and cost-effectiveness.
