small molecule chemistry

• chemicals that can affect protein function and
  physiology very nicely
• elucidate biological mechanisms and pathways
• lead to therapeutics

chemical informatics

• informatics to
• collect,
• store, and
• share data
• on small molecule chemicals and their biological
  effects

• interdisciplinary medical sciences

12
interdisciplinary medical sciences
13
complex nature of diseases
Genes, Behavior, Diet/Nutrition, Infectious
agents, Ecology, Society, ???
14
medical education
JHU medical education curriculum reform ? genetic
paradigm
15
The interplay of genes and proteins and
environment is entirely unique for every patient,
so the physician's challenge is to understand the
variability of the genetic and environmental
factors that lead to disease, try to craft a
prevention plan, and, if necessary, a treatment
plan based on the patient's unique variability.
And then to be able to evolve that plan over time
as new information is added.
