The research conducted by Bernard J. Dunn School of Pharmacy Associate Dean for Research and Professor of Pharmacogenomics Arthur “Art” Harralson, Pharm.D., and his team, looking into cardiovascular health in African Americans, is being spotlighted at noon, Tuesday, March 26, as part of the National Human Genome Research Institute’s Genomics and Health Disparities Lecture Series: Exploring the Role of Genomics in Achieving Health Equality.
Dr. Harralson is part of a team that received a five-year, $9.6 million grant in October 2016 from the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities, and which is developing a model for the discovery, translation and implementation of precision medicine in African Americans that will lay the groundwork for continued investment and growth in minority pharmacogenomics.
