...increase susceptibility to disease or influence a patient's response to certain medications. The study of the latter phenomenon - known as pharmacogenomics - has thus far excluded southern Africans, who have not only been poorly represented in clinical drug trials but also, in many cases, fail to respond optimally to crucial medications for tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS, two major scourges of the continent.

The dagger extended the Crimson’s advantage to 75-71. Zampier cut the deficit in half with a fast-break layup of his own—two of his game-high 32 points—but two possessions later, Harvard went back to the ever-dangerous Casey, who collected team-highs of 20 points and seven rebounds on the night...
