About this Seminar
In the age of Precision Medicine, effective therapy will require careful considerations for individual genetic variations along with PsychoSocioEconomic conditions that confer susceptibility or resilience to certain disease states. In her talk, Dr. Gondre-Lewis will explore the prevalence of specific addiction risk alleles and how they differ among different populations to impact choice of treatment.
