2021

Make proposal for IATDMCT PGx session in the next Congress.

Propose/validate a (minimal) NGS panel to be used for pharmacogenetic applications in the field of TDM and CT (to be published in IATDMCT Compass).

Explore the need for updated PGx guidelines in immunosuppressive therapy.

Increase membership.
