The Harvard Medical School (HMS) Laboratory of Systems Pharmacology (LSP) is a NIGMS Center for Systems Biology multi-disciplinary effort within HiTS to reinvent the fundamental science underlying the development of new medicines and their use in individual patients.
Every cell is an extensively interconnected ecosystem. Any given gene may influence dozens or hundreds of other genes. Systems Pharmacology investigates drug action at the level of entire biochemical and genetic networks, rather than looking at the effect of any single element. The LSP brings together investigators in mathematical and experimental disciplines from multiple academic institutions (Harvard, MIT, Tufts) and research hospitals (Dana Farber, MGH, BWH) and eventually visiting scientists from the
