Authors

Yui-Wing Francis Lam Professor of Pharmacology, Minnie Stevens Piper Professor (2018), James O'Burke Endowed Centennial, Fellow in Pharmacy, University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio, TX, USA. Dr. Lam is Professor of Pharmacology at the University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio (UTHSCSA). His editing experience included the first edition of Pharmacogenomics as well as being the lead editor of another published book entitled "Herbal Supplements - Drug Interactions. Scientific and Regulatory Perspectives”. He is also a co-author for a book chapter on pharmacogenetics in six consecutive editions of the textbook "Pharmacotherapy: A Pathophysiologic Approach”. Dr. Lam designed and continues to direct a graduate course "Molecular and Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics” since 2002 for the UTHSCSA and the College of Pharmacy at the University of Texas at Austin. He has organized and participated in international and national symposia on topics related to personalized and molecular medicine, and is a scientific councilor for the Pacific Rim Association for Clinical Pharmacogenetics. Stuart R. Scott Associate Professor, Genetics and Genomic Sciences, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY, USA; Division Head, Pharmacogenomics, Sema4, Stamford, CT, USA. Dr. Stuart A. Scott will take on the co-editor role for this second edition. Dr. Scott is an Associate Professor in the Department of Genetics and Genomic Sciences at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, and is the Division Head of Pharmacogenomics at the Sema4 clinical genetic testing laboratory. His research interests include multiethnic pharmacogenomic allele discovery, cytogenomics, and long-read sequencing method development. He is a member of several international genomic medicine and pharmacogenomics consortia, has co-authored Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) practice guidelines, and is a co-investigator of the Mount Sinai Institute for Personalized Medicine (IPM) pharmacogenomics implementation program. In addition, he teaches pharmacogenomics and clinical genetics to genetic counseling students, graduate and medical students, clinical residents, and fellows by lecturing for several courses at Mount Sinai and other institutions.
