The symposium focused on the growing contribution of pharmacogenomic information in designing treatment strategies and promoting better approaches to personalized medicine. The primary objective of this symposium was to bridge gaps in understanding the basics and recent advances in the field of pharmacogenomics. This symposium sought to promote interaction between the Indian and Swiss researchers to initiate future collaborative research projects. This symposium also served as a platform for young researchers to present their research findings as posters to the audience.
