Precision dosing, also known as personalized dosing, aims to tailor drug dosages to the individual characteristics of each patient to achieve optimal therapeutic outcomes while minimizing adverse effects. It leverages various patient-specific factors, including genetics, age, weight, organ function and even lifestyle, to determine the most appropriate dosage for each individual.

Dr. McLeod received his Doctorate in Pharmacy from the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science and completed his Post-Doctoral Training at St Jude Children’s Research Hospital and the University of Glasgow.
Dr. Roy is passionate about leveraging technology to amplify the impact of the pharmacist. Her career spans pediatric clinical pharmacy, clinical research and pharmacogenomics with leadership roles at University of Chicago Medical Center and PipelineRx. She received her Doctor of Pharmacy degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago, is a Board-Certified Pharmacotherapy Specialist and completed a Pediatric Specialty Pharmacotherapy Residency at Texas Children’s Hospital.
