An integrated bioinformatics infrastructure essential for advancing pharmacogenomics and personalized medicine in the context of the FDA's Critical Path Initiative.

Pharmacogenomics (PGx) is identified in the FDA Critical Path document as a major opportunity for advancing medical product development and personalized medicine. An integrated bioinformatics infrastructure for use in FDA data review is crucial to realize the benefits of PGx for public health. We have developed an integrated bioinformatics tool, called ArrayTrack, for managing, analyzing and interpreting genomic and other biomarker data (e.g. proteomic and metabolomic data). ArrayTrack is a highly flexible and robust software platform, which allows evolving with technological advances and changing user needs. ArrayTrack is used in the routine review of genomic data submitted to the FDA; here, three hypothetical examples of its use in the Voluntary eXploratory Data Submission (VXDS) program are illustrated.:
