Pharmacogenomics studies the influence of the genome on drug response, whereas proteomics is concerned with the range and type of proteins produced by an individual. These techniques may be used to improve drug discovery, identification and validation.

Keywords: pharmacogenomics; pharmacogenetics; proteomics; toxicogenomics; genomics
