The Pharmacogenetics Research Network is a nationwide research effort sponsored by NIGMS and other NIH components that resulted from a 1998 recommendation by an NIGMS Pharmacogenetics Working Group. The network is a collaborative series of groups of scientists studying the effects of genes on people's responses to a wide variety of medicines. They are helping to create a pharmacogenetics knowledge base, the PharmGKB. The PGRN welcomes affiliate members with research interests and willingness to participate in network efforts.
