This image represents a compilation of schematic, patient-specific, parabolic response surfaces, which are the keys to personalized medicine. They represent responses to combination therapy for individual patients for liver transplant immunosuppression. The need for personalized medicine is shown by the substantial differences between individualized drug interactions. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the 6 April 2016 issue of <i>Science Translational Medicine</i>, published by AAAS. The paper, by A. Zarrinpar at University of California, Los Angeles in Los Angeles, Calif., and colleagues was titled, "Individualizing liver transplant immunosuppression using a phenotypic personalized medicine platform."
