Mission
Our mission is to facilitate the clinical implementation of precision medicine by improving patient outcomes through the optimization of efficacy and limiting toxicity of drug therapy. This is accomplished through research, teaching and service focused on genetically-guided therapeutic decision-making, drug discovery and drug development.
Goals
- Enhance the quality of precision medicine through pharmacogenomics research
- Bring together faculty working in the precision medicine field and increase multidisciplinary collaboration among faculty
- Provide genotyping, gene expression, DNA methylation, and analytical services to the UF community and beyond
- Provide an environment for training clinical and translational scientists in pharmacogenomics
- Educate the UF Health community on pharmacogenomics
Services
Pharmacogenomic laboratory and analytical services are provided for UF and non-UF investigators through the CPPM Core Laboratory. Services are provided either as a price per sample or price per project depending on the service type and specific needs of the researcher. Researchers interested in multiple services will be provided with an estimate of the charges for the entire project. We strive to accommodate the needs of each researcher; if you do not see a service listed on our menu, please inquire.
