Pharmacogenomics is a fast-growing field that helps medical practitioners prescribe personalized treatment plans to patients based on how they may respond to medications due to their DNA sequence. Pharmacogenomics supports personalized or precision medicine, which explores a patient鈥檚 genetics, environment, and lifestyle as a way to craft a treatment plan that will best suit the patient. The goal of this modern approach to medication therapy is to limit adverse effects while optimizing response and beneficial outcomes.

With a Master of Science in Pharmacogenomics degree from WNE, you will be ready to make the most of emerging opportunities from basic or industrial research to clinical implementation through a well-rounded program that aligns with your personal career goals.

The design of the WNE Master of Science in Pharmacogenomics has purposely integrated all major aspects of this field, from basic genetics to clinical implementation. This results in the program including introductory and advanced medical genetics and pharmacogenomics, pharmacology and pathophysiology, genetic data analysis and laboratory techniques, healthcare outcomes and statistical analysis, research design and application, genetic counselling, and clinician or patient interactions at medical sites.

The 41-credit MS in Pharmacogenomics program can be completed in three full-time semesters (fall, spring, and summer). Through courses in Genetics and Genetic Counselling, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, Pathophysiology, Pharmacogenetics, and others, you鈥檒l be well versed to enter the field of precision medicine.
