Recent and ongoing advances in the methods in genomic and pharmacokinetic analyses, as well as the facilitating changes in the legislative environment open up novel possibilities to investigate the individualization of drug therapies. The Individualized Drug Therapy Research Program brings together groups involved in basic, translational and clinical drug research. The synergistic interdisciplinary combination of experts in in vitro and animal models, pharmacokinetics, pharmacogenetics, systems pharmacology and modeling, as well as clinical research in major therapeutic areas forms a cutting-edge center of individualized drug therapy.
