Title

An introduction and invitation to Quantitative Systems Pharmacology

Abstract

Quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) encompasses multiscale mechanism-based modeling that couples pharmacology with mathematical modeling of biological processes implicated in diseases. QSP models seek to address a diverse set of problems in the discovery and development of therapies and are being leveraged in both pharma and academic settings. In this talk, I will give an overview of the growing area of quantitative systems pharmacology and its overlap with the more traditional area of mathematical biology and applied mathematics. To illustrate, I will discuss a few vignettes with published examples how QSP was leveraged to impact oncology drug development.
