CERSI PGx Workshop - Outcomes and next steps

Please join Sir Munir Pirmohamed and the CERSI project team to take part in follow up in-person workshop. The workshop will showcase the work of the Centre for Excellence in Regulatory Sciences in Pharmacogenomics (CERSI-PGx). This is one of 7 CERSIs which have been set up. The CERSI-PGx has been busy developing its work programme, interacting with regulators, industry and other stakeholders. The workshop will present the work completed by the 5 work packages, share outcomes and identify potential next steps for development and sustainability

There will be refreshments throughout the day and a lunch will be provided, with lots of opportunity for networking.
