S9 Epidemiology & genetics : Pharmacogenomics in type 2 diabetes
Friday 14 October 16:00~18:00 | Place: Emerald Hall B Chairs: In-Kyu Lee, Taekeun Oh
Individual traits that affect response to specific drugs have a key role in personalized diabetes management. Rapid advances in knowledge of patient-specific pharmacology occur via the application of new molecular technology in gene-focused (pharmacogenetics) and genome-wide (pharmacogenomics) analyses. Professor Kyung-Sand Yu (Seoul National University, Korea) will provide the overview for pharmacogenomics and personized drug therapy. Subsequently, Professor Richard Watanebe (University of Southern California, USA), Professor Hye Seung Jung (Seoul National University, Korea), and Professor Su-Jun Lee (Inje University, Korea) will give us lectures on the personized medicine more specifically focusing on PPAR-gamma, sulfonylurea and anti-platelet agents, respectively.
