Great kick-off of the @PGCgenetics #Pharmacogenetics Interest Group at the #WCPG2024 by @mueller_dj

[Daniel J. Mueller 🧠🔬 @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" 🐷? Please feel free to DM!
