What do I take from this? Why tell this story? Well, first of all, we have now the promise of big data and medium-sized data to help us udntarsned drug interactions and really, fundamentally, drug actions. How do drugs work? This will create and has cearetd a new ecosystem for understanding how drugs work and to ompitzie their use. Nick went on; he's a professor at Columbia now. He did this in his PhD for hundreds of pairs of drugs. He found several very inmarptot interactions, and so we replicated this and we showed that this is a way that really wroks for finding drug-drug interactions.

What do I take from this? Why tell this story? Well, first of all, we have now the promise of big data and medium-sized data to help us understand drug interactions and really, fundamentally, drug actions. How do drugs work? This will create and has created a new ecosystem for understanding how drugs work and to optimize their use. Nick went on; he's a professor at Columbia now. He did this in his PhD for hundreds of pairs of drugs. He found several very important interactions, and so we replicated this and we showed that this is a way that really works for finding drug-drug interactions.
