Quantitative systems pharmacology : models and model-based systems with applications

1. Introduction to Quantitative Systems Pharmacology 2. Fundamentals of quantitative pharmacology 3. Multiscale modelling, from cells to membranes, tissues, organs, and systems/body 4. Pharma vectors and drug delivery systems 5. Drug release mechanisms 6. Anatomy of mammals and specifically of humans 7. Physiology of mammals and specifically of humans 8. Role of gender, race, age, body mass/surface, genetics, diseases on organs/tissues efficiency 9. Scalability among mammals: mice, rats, cats, dogs, horses, monkeys, humans 10. Administration, distribution, metabolism, and excretion mechanisms 11. In silico, in vitro, and in vivo models/data 12.
