Update 3/31
Mar. 31, 2019—Our project will now involve looking back at old data to see if our methods will change dosing for metoprolol significantly. Our project will eventually lead to see if doing genetic tests and using their results to see if their dosing recommendations are better than current best practice dosing. Last time we were attempting to...
Update3/15
Mar. 19, 2019—We continue to monitor the progress of the IRB for the clinical trials of an application for prescribing Metoprolol For the past few weeks we have been waiting for the IRB to come through. It was supposed to be done over spring break but appears to still be in progress. We had not heard from...
Update 2/2
Feb. 23, 2019—One of the challenges we have run into while preparing for our clinical trials has been gaining IRB approval to run the experiment. One big issue that our group had to tackle was the issue of privacy regarding the patients participating in the trial. We know that IRB would most likely refuse the proposal if...
Update 2/6
Feb. 6, 2019—Our project is to make a website to recommend drugs for post operative care for cardiac surgeries. This will be done by using pharmacognetic data to better prescribe these drugs, reducing the amount of time and money wasted on getting the dosing right. Our previous goals: Implement a separate column for alternative drugs in our...
Our Goals
Nov. 26, 2018—Overall: To create an accessible pharmacogenetic database of postoperative cardiovascular medication. For the near future: Implement a log in page. To fix the western code to display bellow the western option (currently displaying near the top of the page). For next semester: to make our site compatible with Epic’s current system.
Update 11/7
Nov. 7, 2018—Again, our overall goal is to create a website to aid doctors in prescribing 4 drugs (Wefern, Opiod, Zofran, and Metoprolol. 1) We next wish to create a second webpage for Werfern, this is the only drug not effected by the same gene). This is important as it will allow us to reduce the clutter...
Update 11/4
Nov. 2, 2018—Overall goal: Our overall goal is to create a pharmacogneetic (interaction of drugs and the genome) data base. This will be used in the OR (operating room) in order to prescribe the appropriate drug and dosages to the patient post surgery. 1)We next wanted to out put a table on suggestions. We figured a table...
Update 10/29
Oct. 29, 2018—Overall goal: Our overall goal is to create a pharmacogneetic (interaction of drugs and the genome) data base. This will be used in the OR (operating room) in order to prescribe the appropriate drug and dosages to the patient post surgery. 1) We wanted to add in some javascript to our code in order to...
About our Project
Oct. 27, 2018—Pharmacogenetics is the study of the interactions of the genome and drugs. We were tasked with making a data base to track these interactions
