Talking Techniques | Rare disease and pharmacogenomics

Launching our fourth season of Talking Techniques, this episode, supported by the University of Cincinnati Online (OH, USA) we delve into rare disease research and pharmacogenomics, their intersection and the key techniques used to explore them.

Guiding us through these fields is Brenna Carey (left), an Assistant Professor at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center whose research focuses on rare disease pathogenesis, diagnostics and therapeutic development and who also runs key courses on the University’s Pharmacogenomics and Drug Discovery Masters degree programs.
