At CPGR, we specialize in advanced pharmacogenomics solutions that bridge the gap between genetics and personalized medicine. By analyzing how individual genetic differences influence drug response, we help clinicians, researchers, and pharmaceutical companies make more informed, safer, and more effective treatment decisions.

What is Pharmacogenomics?

Pharmacogenomics is the study of how a person’s genetic makeup affects their response to medications. It is a key part of precision medicine, aiming to tailor treatments based on each patient’s unique genetic profile.

Through this approach, adverse drug reactions can be minimized, and drug efficacy can be optimized, making treatments more personalized and impactful.

Why Choose CPGR for Pharmacogenomic Testing?

• Advanced Genotyping & Sequencing Platforms
  Our laboratory is equipped with next generation sequencing (NGS) and SNP genotyping technologies to deliver high-accuracy results.
• CLIA-Grade & Research-Grade Services
  We cater to both clinical and research needs, ensuring your project aligns with global standards.
• Pharmacogenomic Panels
  Access broad or targeted panels covering genes like CYP2C19, CYP2D6, TPMT, SLCO1B1, UGT1A1, and others relevant to drug metabolism.
• Integrated Bioinformatics & Reporting
  We translate raw genomic data into clinically actionable reports, including dosing recommendations and gene-drug interaction insights.
• Support for Clinical Trials & Research
