Definition & Network Themes
QSP has often been defined in terms of other system sciences, e.g. Systems Biology. For the purposes of our network we define it as
the integration of biological mechanisms (from sub-cellular to patient cohorts) in quantitative mechanistic models and their application in the discovery and development of pharmaco-therapeutics.
Cross disciplinary themes associated with QSP and our Network include the following.
| Pharmaceutical Themes | Theoretical themes |
| Drug discovery | Model reduction |
| Drug development | Multi-scale modelling |
| Translation | Data integration |
| Combinatorial therapies | Computational issues |
| Disease progression | Network analysis |
| Efficacy vs toxicity | Identifiability & inference |
| Drug response | Handling big data |
| Targets/Receptors | Mathematical model analysis |
| Supporting the 3Rs | Systems & control optimisation |
If you feel other themes should be associated with the network, please contact the organisers in the first instance.
