Manchester University, GenXys partner for pharmacogenomics awareness, education
Breakthrough science focuses on customizing medication therapy
Fort Wayne, IN (11/02/2022) — GenXys, the global leader in precision prescribing software with embedded pharmacogenetic (PGx) data, is teaming up with Manchester University in northeast Indiana for pharmacogenomics awareness and education.
Pharmacogenomics is a breakthrough science that uses an individual's genetic markers to customize and optimize their medication therapy.
Together, GenXys and Manchester will help drive global recognition of PGx-informed prescribing decisions and in support of expanding use of PGx. This includes pending legislation in the United States known as the Right Drug Dose Now Act.
The partnership will also enable GenXys' expertise and proprietary algorithms to support expansion of genetically informed medication review capabilities in Manchester's educational and research space.
This partnership will further students' learning about evidence-based precision prescribing options for patients, ultimately leading to better health outcomes and empowering the next generation of clinicians to seamlessly utilize PGx in patient care.
Manchester is a national leader in pharmacogenomics education and research. It has on-campus and online master's degree programs in PGx, offers a dual degree in pharmacy (Pharm.D.) and pharmacogenomics (MS in PGx), as well as a graduate certificate in PGx. Its pharmacogenomics program is based at Manchester University Fort Wayne.
