About this listen

This time around, we had an illuminating conversation with Karen Merritt, a founding member of a patient advocacy organization, Advocates for Universal DPD/DPYD Testing! She joined us for an exciting episode to share her journey into pharmacogenetics (PGx) that started with her mom’s story with colon cancer.

This episode, you’ll gain a fresh perspective on Karen's experience in DPD/DPYD testing and PGx, her journey into precision medicine, and a discussion surrounding the importance of making these tests the standard of care.
