Genetics, Pharmacogenetics, Personalised Medicine
ID: 727413
United Kingdom
Expert’s current research portfolio includes pharmacogenetics and genomics of antipsychotic medications, and transcriptomic investigations on the mechanism of action of psychotropic drugs using different strategies, including cell culture models for the investigation of the gene expression profile of drugs. It is expected that these investigations will provide important information of post-receptor mechanisms and reveal new target areas for therapeutic activity
Expert consulted for several pharmaceutical companies in the field of pharmacogenetics and their applications to drug development and testing Expert acted as the head consultant on pharmacogenetics for a bio-diagnostics company
