Her work has focused on the evaluation of herb–drug interactions through analysis of case reports, interaction resources, and pharmacovigilance data to better understand clinical relevance and support evidence-informed decision-making under uncertainty. Dr. Babos has experience teaching across allied health programs and is particularly interested in integrating patient preferences with contemporary standards of care.

Nutrition & Wellness SIG – Evaluating Integrative Polypharmacology: Herb–Drug Interactions in Contemporary Practice

This presentation explores contemporary herb–drug and supplement–drug interactions encountered in modern pharmacy practice, with emphasis on evidence quality, clinical relevance, and decision-making under uncertainty. As patients increasingly combine prescription therapies such as GLP-1 receptor agonists, SGLT2 inhibitors, psychotropics, and cardiovascular agents with cannabinoids, botanicals, adaptogens, and “wellness stacks,” pharmacists are uniquely positioned to evaluate potential risks and guide safe use. Through real-world cases and analysis of commonly used interaction resources, attendees will examine the challenges of interpreting conflicting evidence to distinguish theoretical from clinically meaningful interactions.

“Empowered by Design: Pharmacogenomics in Personalized Care”

Description: Many patients accumulate medications because of ineffective or poorly tolerated therapies.

This presentation briefly reviews how pharmacogenomic testing can interrupt that cycle, guide precision prescribing, and open the door to meaningful medication reduction. Pharmacogenomics represents a unique opportunity to elevate clinical services, strengthen provider relationships, and differentiate care. By integrating pharmacogenomic insights, independent pharmacists can identify medication-related problems more precisely, support optimized therapy selection, and position themselves as essential partners in personalized patient care—improving outcomes while expanding the pharmacy’s clinical and professional impact.
