My Drug Genome is your resource to learn about how genetics can affect the way medications work and how genetic results can be incorporated into personalized patient care.  Part of personalized medicine means ensuring that patients receive medications that are right for them.

What is PREDICT?  Vanderbilt University has launched PREDICT (Pharmacogenomic Resource for Enhanced Decisions in Care & Treatment), which empowers patients and doctors with the genetic information needed to predict and help prevent bad drug side effects. Because each person responds differently to medicines, this knowledge helps doctors to prescribe drugs that work better and have fewer side effects.
