Systems Biology Center New York

The Systems Biology Center New York (SBCNY) is one of the National Centers for Systems Biology funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS). Researchers and educators from Mount Sinai School of Medicine, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences NYU, Stony Brook University (SUNY), City University of New York (CUNY), National Centre for Biological Sciences (India), and the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, form the Systems Biology Center New York. SBCNY investigators want to understand how the effects of molecular interactions are propagated across scales of organization from cells to tissues and organs affecting physiology and pathophysiology. We posit that the dynamic organization of motifs (regulatory loops) within multi-scale networks provides the basis for propagation of effects across scales from molecules to cells to tissues. We study drug action at a genomic scale to understand and predict adverse events. We are actively engaged in the development of the new discipline of Systems Pharmacology.

Software, databases and data generated by the Systems Biology Center New York are publicly available, and research findings are described in the Center's publications.

Experimental Therapeutics Institute

The Experimental Therapeutics Institute (ETI) serves as the interdisciplinary institutional platform for the development of new drugs, devices, and intellectual property that grow out of Mount Sinai’s basic and clinical research programs. This Institute provides a range of emerging and established technologies to Mount Sinai researchers that enable the translation of basic biological mechanisms into therapeutics. The services provided by the Institute include high-throughput screening of chemical libraries, medicinal chemistry, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics and computation and systems pharmacology. 

The ETI Cores include:
