Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics are rapidly evolving fields that examine the role of genetic and genomic variation on drug response and efficacy. These disciplines hold the promise of personalized medicine, where treatments can be tailored to individual genetic profiles to maximize therapeutic efficacy and minimize adverse effects. Moreover, the rapid advancements in pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics hold significant potential for transforming forensic sciences.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest research, advancements, and applications of pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics, fostering a deeper understanding of their impact on medicine, healthcare, and forensic investigations.
We invite researchers, clinicians, and scholars to submit original research articles, review papers, and technical notes on the following topics:
- Genetic Determinants of Drug Metabolism and Response;
- Pharmacogenomic Biomarkers and Predictive Models;
- Technological Innovations in Pharmacogenomics;
- Pharmacogenetics and Pharmacogenomics tools.
In this regard, this Special Issue aims to collect accurate and up-to-date scientific information on all aspects of Pharmacogenetics and Pharmacogenomics techniques and applications currently used to analyze human samples, in the form of original research articles, communications, case reports, and reviews.
Dr. Francesco Sessa

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
