Great kick-off of the @PGCgenetics #Pharmacogenetics Interest Group at the #WCPG2024 by @mueller_dj
Inauguration of the first "Pharmacogenomics Interest Group (PIG)" meeting at the #WCPG2024 Many attendants joined; great to see so much interest in translational research, aimed to improve treatment for the individual patient. Main goals of the "PIG": - Networking to promote collaborative discoveries and liaising with the @pgrnhub psychiatric PGx interest group - Promote implementation of PGx testing where evidence is strong (see @cpicpgx recommendations) - Propose / join ongoing statements and updated review articles with @ISPGnet members on PGx in psychiatry - Enhance and provide solid mentorship (both, clinical and research) Interested to learn more about "PIG" ๐Ÿท? Please feel free to DM!

Last day of the excellent #WCPG2023 and all those present have had an excellent meeting BUT getting a visa for Canada is difficult with long delays. Many people are absent because their visa didnโ€™t arrive in time We missed you.
