Gene–Drug Interaction Map Developed to Aid Personalized Chemotherapy

Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) have generated a detailed, quantitative gene–drug interaction map as an open resource that could help clinicians prescribe the most effective type of chemotherapy for each cancer patient, based on the tumor’s genetic profile.Reporting on the map in Cell Reports , the researchers, led by Sourav Bandyopadhyay, Ph.D., a professor of bioengineering and therapeutic sciences at UCSF’s Schools of Pharmacy and Medicine,
