Systems pharmacology
Systems pharmacology is the application of
drugs affect the human body as a single complex biological system
.
Instead of considering the effect of a drug to be the result of one specific Networks of interaction may include chemical-protein, protein–protein, genetic, signalling and physiological (at cellular, tissue, organ and whole body levels). Systems pharmacology uses bioinformatics
and statistics techniques to integrate and interpret these networks.
Systems pharmacology can be applied to drug safety studies as a complement to pharmacoepidemiology.[2]
