btw, Dana, how is that pharmacogenomics class? Interesting? Difficult? etc

I found the class interesting. I enjoyed genetics during undergrad and it is nice to see it being put to another use besides nailing criminals.
We've looked at mutations in receptors and how they affect drug response, mutations in metabolizing proteins that can cause increased toxicity to certain drugs, specific transporter protein mutations, a couple of genetic disease states, genetic testing and a few other things.

I can't believe that they are doing that to you (Christmas homework!)-- what a bunch of jackasses.dgroulx said:My last final was yesterday and I don't go back until January 9th.
Of course, they are going to be posting assignments for us to work on that are due on our day back.
