On Friday, October 11, Dr. Branka Zukić, Full Research Professor from the Institute of Molecular Genetics and Genetic Engineering, delivered a lecture titled PharmGenHUB: Pharmacogenomics in Strengthened IMGGI (2022-2025) at the Institute for Medical Research as part of the Scientific Seminar series.
During her presentation, Dr. Zukić explored the potential of pharmacogenomics in the Western Balkans, focusing on the role of next-generation DNA sequencing. This technology helps identify specific genetic markers critical in personalized treatments, allowing for better-targeted therapies for various conditions. The aim is to move beyond the one-size-fits-all approach, ensuring patients receive the right medication and dosage at the right time, improving treatment outcomes, and reducing side effects.
