Prediction of Clinical Effects from Pharmacological Data

5 PREDICTION OF CLINICAL EFFECTS FROM PHARMACOLOGICAL DATA 

The prediction of clinical effects from pharmacological data is the Holy Grail of many pharmacologists. But because pharmacological data can be obtained from biological systems at different levels of complexity, there are a number of rungs in the ladder of extrapolation to clinical effects. And how, the reader may wonder, is this pursuit relevant to the context of our discussion on complexity and emergent properties
