Abstract
With the right plan, systems biology can empower drug discovery, say Adriano Henney and Giulio Superti-Furga. Field leaders have contributed and now the authors want to hear from you.

To some it is the logical and inevitable next-level understanding that will propel drug discovery from empiricism to mechanism-based rational design.
