Figure 1.. Model for discovery and validation of novel drug targets for complex diseases using integrative single-cell non-biased -omics.
A discovery phase using both human disease and animal model single cell -omics profiling is recommended. Integrative computational methods are applied to cross-species and cross-platform data to identify and prioritize master regulatory and druggable targets of greatest importance in human disease. Experimental functional studies in animal models of disease and in disease-relevant human cells, including gene-manipulation in human induced pluripotent stems cells, can define precise molecular and cellular targets for translation via clinical trials and precision therapeutic strategies.
