ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a biochip microarray, with multiple properties for use in identification of gene- and protein-induction or repression by drugs, the evaluation of efficacy and toxicity of any drug of choice, prediction of efficacy and toxicity of newly-discovered drugs, families of drugs or classes of drugs. Experimental information acquired from the biochip is inputted into a Drug-Gene-Protein-Biology (DGPB) database from which experimental data can be mined and analyzed based on the users preferences. A method for predicting the effect of a test composition for the treatment of a disease also is described. An animal model for the disease is selected. A biochip array for evaluating the effect of the test composition for the treatment of the disease is provided. The test composition is tested in the animal model to obtain a first set of biological markers representative of the effect of the test composition in the animal model. The biochip array generates a first set of data representative of the first set of biological markers. The first set of data is evaluated to predict the effect of the test composition on the disease. Preferably, the animal model is a standard animal model for human disease.
