In SNPs & Scripts' Decoded episodes 1 and 2, the hosts hit the campus of Western New England University to find out just how much people know about pharmacogenomics (PGx), the science of how our genes influence medication response. In this two-episode hunt, they interviewed students, healthcare providers, and faculty to get their take on questions like: "Why do some people experience side effects while others don't?", "Should PGx testing be a routine part of healthcare?", and "What even is a SNP, and are they always bad?". After the interviews, the hosts begin breaking down the science in plain language, and the difference between preemptive and responsive genetic testing is highlighted. The hosts also share why pharmacogenomics (PGx) matters more now than ever.

About SNPs & Scripts
From the publisher's feed
SNPs & Scripts (pronounced snips and scripts) is a student-run podcast exploring how our genes shape the way we respond to medications. Hosted by graduate students enrolled in the…
Western New England University Master of Science in Pharmacogenomics (MSPGx) program, the show breaks down complex pharmacogenomic concepts into clear, engaging conversations to bridge the gap between the classroom, the lab, and real-world patient care.
Each season is created and hosted by that year's MSPGx cohort, bringing fresh perspectives, new voices, and evolving topics to the mic. Episodes will dive into emerging research, clinical applications, ethical questions, career pathways, and more through conversations among students. There will also be some interviews with researchers, clinicians, and industry experts.
Whether you're a student, a scientist, a healthcare professional, or simply someone curious about the future of personalized medicine, SNPs & Scripts offers a thoughtful, approachable look at the science driving precision therapeutics, straight from the next generation of experts.
