New Mathematical Model May Improve Drug Discovery – Study Co-Authored by CFB’s Dr. Eleanor Allen

A new mathematical model that uses drug-target kinetics to predict how drugs work in vivo may provide a foundation to improve drug discovery, which is frequently hampered by the inability to predict effective doses of drugs. The discovery by Peter Tonge, a Professor of Chemistry and Radiology, and Director of Infectious Disease Research at the Institute for Chemical Biology and Drug Discovery (ICB & DD) at Stony Brook University, is co-authored by the Center for Biotechnology’s Dr. Eleanor Allen, along with collaborators at Stony Brook University and AstraZeneca.
