Training in systems pharmacology: predoctoral program in pharmacology and systems biology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine.

ABSTRACT: Our recently developed predoctoral training program in pharmacology and systems biology prepares students to become experts in systems-level models of disease that identify therapeutic targets and predict adverse effects or new uses of existing therapeutics. Multiple computational modeling modes are introduced throughout a curriculum that integrates basic cell and molecular sciences with the physiology and pathophysiology of disease states. Problem-based learning exercises enable students from different experimental and computational backgrounds to design experiments and interpret data quantitatively.
