Pharmacogenomic testing for medications
Pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing for Veterans uses people's genes to understand how they respond to medicines. Genes are parts of our DNA that provide instruction on how your body develops and functions. Everyone has small differences in their genes so people may respond different to medicines.
Learn more about pharmacogenomic testing for preparedness.
Research
We have an expanding research department. As of July 2025, there were ten active, externally funded ongoing studies and 24 active institutional review board (IRB) approved studies overall. There are multiple active collaborative research projects between the institutions in areas of both clinical and basic science. We are the first site to have clinical trials including oncology studies in the new federal electronic health record (FEHR).

Toxic exposure screening and your VA benefits
A toxic exposure screening supports your long-term health plan and ensures you receive informed, whole-health care. It’s a quick 5-10 minute screening to identify any potential exposures to toxins during your military service. We will connect you to additional resources if you have any concerns.
