The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) aims to launch a pilot genetic biobank that will gather patient data to associate drug-related adverse events to their genetic makeup. The Yellow Card biobank will launch as a joint venture with the UK-government funded entity Genomics England on June 1.

Geneticist Dr Charles Steward has spent his career studying the human genome – but his work became much more personal when his children were diagnosed with severe neurological diseases. Charlie told pharmaphorum how his search for a genetic cause has led him to straddle the divide between scientist and patient advocate.
