Led by Professor Walter Kolch, researchers at University College Dublin have merged biological information and mathematical models to deliver the ultimate in personalised medicine, a computer programme that can predict how an individual will respond to medical treatments.

Studies have shown that the patient response rate for the world’s top 10 drugs only runs at between 10 and 30 per cent. The Systems Biology Ireland lab at UCD developed models that are based on a person’s own biochemistry. Once integrated with a computer algorithm the team can predict with a high degree of accuracy how a person will respond to various treatments. Researchers at UCD think bigger, go further and learn more; to advance knowledge and create impact in Agri-food, Culture, Economy and Society, Environment, Health and ICT.
