Welcome to Maruf Lab at the
University of Manitoba College of Pharmacy!
University of Manitoba College of Pharmacy!
The overarching aim of Dr. Maruf's research program (Pharmacogenomics Knowledge to Action - "PGxK2A Lab") is to facilitate the development, evaluation, and implementation of evidence-informed precision medicine initiatives using quantitative and qualitative methodologies and implementation science techniques. Our lab conducts cutting-edge research to bring clinical innovation into practice by reducing the knowledge-to-practice gap. Our research program is collaborative and follows a teacher-scholar model that involves scholarly activities with students from various levels, innovative teaching approaches, and service activities to the institution, the profession, and the society.
Current research priorities:
- Pharmacogenomic and pharmacovigilance studies to understand inter-individual variation in medication response.
- Patient-oriented research to optimize precision health/medicine tools for diverse populations.
- Knowledge translation, implementation, and educational research to help expand the scope of pharmacy practice to evidence-based precision medicine.
Our lab is currently the Manitoba cohort lead or collaborator on Pan-GEM, PrairieGen, CYMH Trials Network, KINDTrials, and iBio2Div-MS.
