Dr. Gawronski's current research aims to improve preemptive pharmacogenetic testing implementation, with a focus in medically underserved populations, with the goal of improving individualized medication prescribing. His research seeks to discover patient factors which are predictive of being prescribed drugs with pharmacogenetic guidelines, determine the effect of preemptive pharmacogenetic testing implementation on patient reported outcomes, and implement quick response (QR) code-based pharmacogenetic reporting methods. This work should lead to advancements in the clinical implementation of preemptive pharmacogenetic testing, leading to the increased utilization of pharmacogenetic results across the healthcare system.
