PGENI
PGENI (Pharmacogenetics for Every National Initiative) is a
labor of love for Dr. Howard McLeod and illustrates the vision
of IPIT. The major aim of PGENI is to develop a guide to
what drugs are likely to work best in different populations across
the globe.
There are 4 goals to the project:
- Enhance the understanding of pharmacogenetics in the developing
world
- Help build local infrastructure for future pharmacogenetics
research studies
- Provide guidelines for medical prioritization for individual
countries using pharmacogenetics
- Promote the integration of genetic information into public
health decision making policies
