Department Description

Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences (BTS) drives the development of new medicines, medical devices, and diagnostic tests, as it answers pressing scientific questions-from how an individual's genetic profile affects drug response to how we can use nanotechnology to build devices that replace the work of diseased organs. Using advanced computational and experimental tools, we work at the intersection of basic science and patient care. Recent successes in TB drug discovery have produced additional clinical and preclinical drug candidates, which have revealed a new challenge: with many possible combinations, how do we efficiently prioritize multidrug regimens to test in resource-intensive clinical trials? The Savic Lab and the PReDiCTR Program will establish a comprehensive, collaborative, multidisciplinary consortium of scientific leaders, drug developers, and other stakeholders to develop and pursue a preclinical and translational research agenda to identify novel regimens with the greatest potential for clinical success in adults and children with TB. The overall goal is to develop a fully data- and knowledge-driven approach to evaluate, prioritize and optimize novel drug regimens for clinical trials requiring only preclinical and early clinical trial data.
