Welcome to the LPM website!

The Laboratory for Personalized Medicine (LPM) is a virtual lab within Harvard Medical School (HMS) that is currently developing bioinformatics web applications. Our lab focuses on the concept of personalized medicine by creating preventative health care for individuals based on their specific medical, family, and genetic characteristics. Many of our projects center around the field of pharmacogenomics, which examines the impact of genetic variation on the dosing and response to medications such as warfarin. Our research has the potential to offer many benefits to healthcare through a more personalized approach to medicine.
