Morpheus Genomics remains vigilant in advocating for patient safety and the implementation of pharmacogenomics
Revolutionizing medicine as we know it. Bringing it out of the current Dark Age of trial-and-error practice and transforming patient care into a Precision Medicine-based model Resulting in decreased morbidity, mortality, cost and increased patient safety, outcomes and satisfaction
Pharmacogenomics is the study of how genes affect a person’s response to drugs. This relatively new field combines pharmacology (the science of drugs) and genomics (the study of genes and their functions) to develop effective, safe medications and doses that will be tailored to a person’s genetic makeup.
A sample is obtained from a simple cheek swab and sent to the laboratory. The individual's genetic makeup is determined, and specific drug metabolism can be evaluated.

In 2015, launched the Precision Medicine Initiative. The future of precision medicine will enable health care providers to tailor treatment and prevention strategies to people’s unique characteristics, including their genome sequence, microbiome composition, health history, lifestyle, and diet.
“Doctors have always recognized that every patient is unique, and doctors have always tried to tailor their treatments as best they can to individuals." You can match a blood transfusion to a blood type—that was an important discovery. What if matching a cancer cure to our genetic code was just as easy, just as standard? "What if figuring out the right dose of medicine was as simple as taking our temperature?”
- President Obama, January 30, 2015.
Hospitals, private physician practices, pharmacies, and patients will soon realize they will each require specialized expertise to navigate the impending and never-ending surge of information that will accompany the transition of our current Dark Age practice of medicine to a Precision Medicine DNA-based model. The benefits in regard to decreased morbidity, mortality, and cost and increased patient safety and satisfaction will be enormous, as will be the amount of data and information that must be processed, analyzed, and acted upon to bring such benefits.
Morpheus Genomics stands to advance the field of pharmacogenomics and make this technology available and affordable for every human. Our goal is to lower the cost of DNA pharmacogenomic testing and to seamlessly break down the current barrier between the patient and the physician using actionable data, resulting in better outcomes for their patients.
Pharmacogenomics involves evaluating an individual‘s unique genetic makeup and how those genes metabolize specific medications.
