Precision Medicine in Sports Pharmacy: Applying Nutrigenomics and Pharmacogenomics to Athlete Care

February 10 @ 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm EST

Topics covered:

  • Explore how genetic variation influences athletes’ nutritional requirements, body composition, and performance outcomes.
  • Gain an evidence-based overview of genetics in athletic performance, injury prevention, and recovery optimization.
  • Understand how genetic predispositions to food sensitivities and intolerances may affect physical function, cognitive resilience, and overall performance.
