Produktbeschreibung
While systems biology and pharmacodynamics have evolved in parallel, there are significant interrelationships that can enhance drug discovery and enable optimized therapy for each patient. Systems pharmacology is the relatively new discipline that is the interface between these two methods. This book is the first to cover the expertise from systems biology and pharmacodynamics researchers, describing how systems pharmacology may be developed and refined further to show practical applications in drug development. There is a growing awareness that pharmaceutical companies should reduce the high attrition in the pipeline due to insufficient efficacy or toxicity found in proof-of-concept and/or Phase II studies. Systems Pharmacology and Pharmacodynamics discusses the framework for integrating information obtained from understanding physiological/pathological pathways (normal body function system vs. perturbed system due to disease) and pharmacological targets in order to predict clinical efficacy and adverse events through iterations between mathematical modeling and experimentation.

He is a former President of the International Society of Pharmacometrics and is a Fellow and member of the Board of Regents of the American College of Clinical Pharmacology. In addition, he is an expert member of the Board of Pharmaceutical Sciences at FIP and serves on the Scientific Advisory Board to Simcyp. His research focuses on identifying molecular and physiological factors that control the pharmacological properties of various drugs, with a focus on anti-cancer and immunomodulatory agents. He has contributed to 120+ peer-reviewed publications.
Holly H.C. Kimko-SA"> is a senior pharmacometrician in the Global Clinical Pharmacology department at Janssen Research & Development, LLC, Spring House, PA, and Adjunct Associate Professor in the Pharmacy School of Rutgers University, New Jersey. Dr. Kimko is a Janssen Research Fellow and American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists Fellow. She championed the use of modeling and simulations in drug development at the Center for Drug Development Science at Georgetown University Medical School, Washington, DC in 1995–2002. Trained in biochemistry and pharmacy, Dr. Kimko earned her Ph.D. degree in pharmaceutical sciences from the University at Buffalo, State University of New York. She has published key papers on physiologically-based indirect response modeling and applications of clinical trial simulations and has edited two books on clinical trial simulations. Her research interests include strategic application of modeling and simulation tools in all aspects of drug development and post-approval life cycle management. Among her scientific endeavors is a specialty in pediatric drug development.
