Head of Department of Pharmacology & Personalised Medicine, Faculty of Health, Medicine & Life Science, Maastricht University
With a double degree in Medicine and Pharmacy, Harald Schmidt works in network and systems medicine to re-define what we call "disease" from a descriptive symptom- and organ-based to a mechanism-based approach by using big data, multi-target validation, new mechanism-based diagnostics, and rapid repurposing of registered drugs for new clinical applications by network pharmacology. He applies this to areas of unmet medical need, such as the development and commercialization of a first-in-class neuroprotective therapy in stroke, a therapy against a common and untreatable form of heart failure, and a therapy for resistant hypertension. He coordinates the H2020 project REPO-TRIAL on in-silico network pharmacology and the organ-agnostic European drug repurposing platform project REPO4EU.
