Funded Activity Summary

Genetic information could improve diagnosis and selection of treatment for conditions such as cancer and psychosis. This aim of this research is to improve methods for using family history to diagnose patients, and to identify some of the genes involved in response to anti-cancer and anti-psychotic medications. This type of information can then be used to determine which drugs patients should be prescribed before starting treatment.
