contents Computational methods in drug repositioning can help to conserve resources. In particular, methods based on biological networks are showing promise. Considering only the network topology and knowledge on drug target genes is not sufficient for quantitative predictions or predictions involving drug combinations. We propose an iterative procedure alternating between system identification and drug response experiments. Data from experiments are used to improve the model and drug effect knowledge, which is then used to select drugs for the next experiments. Using simulated data, we show that the procedure can identify nearly optimal drug combinations.
