About this episode

Dr. Jay Anders and Anna Dover discuss pharmacogenomics and its implications for personalized medicine.

Host Dr. Jay Anders welcomes Anna Dover, PharmD, Senior Director of Editorial Content at First Databank (FDB). Together they unpack pharmacogenomics — using a patient's genetic profile to predict which drugs will work and which will cause harm — and why it's one of the most exciting frontiers in personalized medicine. They explore the data challenges holding it back, from genetic results trapped in unstructured PDFs to the lack of a standard transmission vocabulary and the gap between health system and community pharmacy. Dover also details FDB's new MCP for grounding large language models in evidence-based, clinically curated drug information.
