@appliedbinf scientists are using #GeneticAncestry to inform #PrecisionMedicine decisions in support of #HealthEquity for underrepresented minorities.

[Shashwat D. Nagar @SarsoDaSwag]

@appliedbinf The Jordan lab @GeorgiaTech just published on #Pharmacogenomics for #HealthEquity!

We show that safer and more effective drugs (#PrecisionMedicine) will be prescribed to Black and Hispanic patients if their #GeneticAncestry is considered.
