    Vijay Pande, Russ Altman

    Stanford professor Russ Altman leads a data science laboratory that integrates molecular, cellular, and population-level data to optimize drug response and identify previously unknown side effects. By analyzing diverse sources ranging from electronic medical records to web search logs, Altman's team successfully uncovered critical interactions, such as a glucose spike caused by combining paroxetine and pravastatin, and predicted new therapeutic uses for existing cancer drugs. This multi-scale approach, supported by funding from the National Institutes of Health and industry partners like Pfizer and Genentech, aims to replace fragmented clinical trial models with continuous, data-driven surveillance for safer and more effective pharmaceutical development.
