Understanding the genetics underlying drug metabolism and efficacy is essential for developing effective and safe pharmacotherapies. This book examines the genetic factors that influence how individuals process and respond to medications, focusing on the enzymes and transporters involved in drug metabolism pathways. It covers the role of cytochrome P450 enzymes, genetic polymorphisms, and gene-environment interactions in determining drug pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Designed for pharmacologists, geneticists, and pharmaceutical researchers, it provides detailed insights into the genetic determinants of drug action and their impact on personalized medicine.
Rebecca Mitchell studies the genetics behind drug metabolism and efficacy in dermatological treatments, aiming to optimize therapy outcomes. Her research identifies genetic factors that influence how patients metabolize and respond to skin medications. Rebecca has published extensively on the role of genetic variations in enhancing or diminishing drug effectiveness for conditions
