Where:

Is understanding your DNA key to preventing adverse drug reactions?

Genomics may hold the key to preventing adverse drug reactions, through a field of study also known as pharmacogenomics.

Learn about pharmacogenomics from three different perspectives: Adriana Suarez-Gonzalez (Manager, GenXys Health Care Systems), Bryce Wong (General Manager of RxOme Pharmacogenomics Canada, BC Pharmacy Association) and Amani Saini (President and Founder, Adverse Drug Reaction Canada.)

This event is free and open to the public and will offer a question and answer period after the talks.
