About
As a clinical pharmacist, Nathan's top priority is the delivery of safe and effective medication therapy to patients. In partnership with the Lurie Children's Precision Medicine Initiative, Nathan developed the Pharmacogenomics Program in 2020. Pharmacogenomics is the study of the relationship between genetic variability and drug disposition, response, and toxicity. Precision Pharmacotherapy combines pharmacogenomics and precision medicine to customize medication therapy based on a patient’s genetics, environment, and lifestyle. Precision Pharmacotherapy has the potential to improve medication outcomes, decrease side effects, lower cost of treatment, and improve patient safety.
