Lara Murphy, HBSc

Undergraduate Student

Lara began working with the pharmacogenetics research team at CAMH under Dr. Mueller’s supervision in 2019, as part of the University of Toronto Institute of Medical Science's Summer Undergraduate Research Program. Since joining the team, she has supported various projects related to antidepressants and antipsychotics in the context of pharmacogenetics. Currently, Lara is co-leading a paper discussing considerations for the translation of pharmacogenetics consensus guidelines into antidepressant prescribing choices in clinical practice. She am also assisting with a systematic review and meta-analysis assessing the influence of the ABCB1 gene on antipsychotic response and side effects in patients with schizophrenia.
