Systems Pharmacology

The research of the Systems Pharmacology Group comprises studies of functional aspects of pharmacology and the investigations target multiple levels of integration from individual cells across tissue sections and whole organ systems to intact animals.  By performing pharmacological studies in a range of in vitro and in vivo preparations in addition to models of human diseases, we aim to comprehensively characterize suitable targets for pharmacological intervention in man, as well as predict the kinetics and dynamics of candidate therapeutic agents. The research efforts of the group, thus, encompass translational investigations and span the range from basic science to therapy. Moreover, we seek to enable pharmaceutical researchers and Pharmacists being trained within the group to bridge laboratory and clinical research.
