About my research
The Savic Lab focuses on modeling and simulation of exposure-response relationships, disease processes, and new drug therapies, with the aim of improving patient outcomes and treatment effectiveness. Scientists apply engineering principles, sophisticated data analysis techniques, and high-end computational tools to drug development using pharmacometrics and quantitative systems pharmacology. Research is focused on methodological advancement and application of systems pharmacology models to drug development and therapy optimization problems in tuberculosis, malaria, HIV, oncology, and diabetes.
