医学院校生物技术专业开设药物基因组学的必要性

The necessity for biotechnology major of medical college for set up pharmacogenomics

药物基因组学是一门新兴学科,是基因组学在药学领域的深入和延伸。该学科帮助人们更好地认识不同个体对药物反应差异的原因,指导新药研发和临床用药。随着"精准医疗"概念的提出和"个体化医疗"时代的到来,药物基因组学越来越引发关注,并且逐渐走入临床应用。另外一方面,近年来生物技术在诊断、制药等领域广泛应用,医学和药学院校纷纷开设了生物技术专业,以期为检验科,药剂科及新药研发等培养药学专业人才。然而,多数生物技术专业目前很少开设药物基因组学,这对于面向"个体化医疗"时代培养人才十分不利。本文从药物基因组学的研究内容与实际应用出发,结合学生就业方向,分析了医学及药学院校生物技术专业开设药物基因组学的必要性,为完善生物技术专业的课程体系提供资料。

Pharmacogenomics is a new discipline which intend to go deep and extend of genomics in the field of phar-macy. Pharmacogenomics can not only helps people better understand the causes of different individuals differences indrug reactions, but also directs the development and clinical use of new drugs. With the introduction of the concept of ＂precision medicine＂ and the arrival of the era of ＂personalized medicine＂, pharmacogenomics is becoming more andmore concerned and is gradually enter clinical application. On the other hand, biotechnology has been widely used indiagnosis, pharmaceutical and other fields in recent years, medical and pharmaceutical colleges and universities haveset up biotechnology major, with a view to training pharmaceutical professionals for laboratory, pharmacy and new drugdevelopment. However, most biotechnology majors currently have very few pharmacogenomics, which is very bad forcultivating talents in the era of ＂individualized medicine＂. Based on the research content and practical application ofpharmacogenomics, this paper analyzes the necessity of pharmacogenomics in the specialty of biotechnology in medicaland pharmaceutical colleges, which provide information for improving the curriculum system of biotechnology.
