Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics: Past, Present, and Future

Abstract

Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics (CPT), the definitive and timely source for advances in human therapeutics, transcends the drug discovery, development, regulation and utilization continuum to catalyze, evolve and disseminate discipline-transformative knowledge. Prioritized themes and multidisciplinary content drive the science and practice of clinical pharmacology, offering a trusted point of reference. An authoritative herald across global communities, CPT is a timeless information vehicle at the vanguard of discovery, translation and application ushering therapeutic innovation into modern health care.

Allergy-associated biomarkers in early life identified by Omics techniques

“…Moreover, at AD onset, infants with S. aureus on their skin were younger than those without it (30). Several genomic studies confirmed S. aureus abundance and that of other coagulase-negative Staphylococci (CoNS) to increase in AD, whereas Streptococcus, Propionibacterium, Acinetobacter, Cutibacterium, and Corynebacterium genera are typically present in the homeostatic skin (28,29,(131)(132)(133)(134). These data suggest that alterations in skin colonization may contribute to AD onset in early life.…”

Themes in Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics

“…Themed issues, with their hallmark covers ( Figure ), have been a distinguishing feature of Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics ( CPT ) for nearly 15 years. Introduced in 2007 by former Editor‐in‐Chief Scott Waldman, the presentation of innovative content in a thematic manner has evolved into a unique identity for the journal 1 . Themed issues focus on the latest developments in a specific area of our discipline and always aim to look toward the future.…”

“…Introduced in 2007 by former Editor-in-Chief Scott Waldman, the presentation of innovative content in a thematic manner has evolved into a unique identity for the journal. 1 Themed issues focus on the latest developments in a specific area of our discipline and always aim to look toward the future. Indeed, one of CPT's first themed issues in December 2007 was dedicated to "Vaccines," 2 which now seems almost symbolic at the end of a year where the world has witnessed the development and rollout of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines at unprecedented speed and scale.…”

Pharmacology and Precision Medicine—Preparing for the Next Era in Clinical Medicine—Editorial

“…Traditionally, pharmacology may simply be defined as "the study of drugs" (Waldman and Terzic, 2017). The discipline involves investigation of interactions of chemical substances with living systems.…”
