About the Authors

Jessica Oesterheld, M.D. is a graduate of Mount Holyoke College and Tufts Medical School and completed residencies in General, College and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.

She has been a cytochrome maven since 1992. Her interest arose from clinical experiences with patients with side effects based on CYP-based drug interactions. She has authored the following books, papers or chapters that review cytochromes and their development and interactions.

Tom Polasek, BSc, BPharm (Hons), PhD, trained initially as a Pharmacist at the Flinders Medical Centre in Adelaide (Australia) before joining the Department of Clinical Pharmacology at Flinders University in 2002. After completing his PhD in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics, Tom held lectureships in clinical pharmacology until 2012. His professional interests include all aspects of clinical pharmacology, but are particularly focussed on drug interactions and inter-individual variability in pharmacokinetics. Tom is currently a medical student at Flinders University and runs a pharmacology consulting business called TP Pharmacology.

David N. Osser, M.D. is a national, and international consultant in clinical psychopharmacology with over 25 years of experience in a wide variety of settings. He is most well known for the development of systematic, comprehensive algorithmic pathways for evidence-supported psychopharmacological treatment of depressive, psychotic, and anxiety disorders. In collaboration with Robert Patterson, M.D., these algorithms have been produced in an Internet-based "virtual psychopharmacology consultation" interactive computer format. These may be found at the web site www.mhc.com/Algorithms. In October 2001 this web site won a Kanter Foundation Award for "journalists who foster knowledge about the benefits of collecting and standardizing data on health outcomes, so patients and clinicians can use scientific, evidence-based information to guide their treatment decisions."

Dr. Osser is an associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He is an author of more than 50 academic products, including journal articles, software, monographs, book chapters, and abstracts. He received four awards for outstanding teaching, and two Exemplary Psychiatrist awards from the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI) and from the Massachusetts chapter of NAMI. He has been on the staff of Taunton State Hospital for over 25 years and currently is Director of the Psychopharmacology Consultation Service and Director of Medical Practice Evaluation and Management. He is also on the staff of the Brockton Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, where he is the Psychiatrist for the Domiciliary program for homeless veterans. He is also President of the Massachusetts Psychiatric Society, a district branch of the American Psychiatric Association.

Dr. Osser is a member of the International Psychopharmacology Algorithm Project, directed by Kenneth Jobson, M.D. Under their auspices, he has presented his algorithms and software in Japan and China in the past several years. He has been named an "Honorary International Advisory Member of the Chinese Psychopharmacology Algorithm Project with gratitude from the Beijing University Institute of Psychiatry and the Ministry of Health of the People's Republic of China."

He lives in Needham, Massachusetts with his wife Stephanie, two children, Rosie (19) and Daniel (16), and two turtles, Hypotenuse 4.0 and Hypotenuse 5.0.

Neil B. Sandson, M.D. is Director of the Psychopharmacology Consultation Service and the Director of the Division of Education and Residency Training at Sheppard Pratt Hospital, Baltimore Maryland. He graduated from Amherst College and then the University of Maryland with an M.D. His residency was at Sheppard Pratt. Dr. Sandson is an examiner for the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Maryland.

His professional interests include the cytochrome P450 system, drug-drug interactions, mechanisms of action of psychotropic agents and teaching.

"Using the P450 Interactions program, I was immediately able to resolve several complicated medication problems in three of my patients. The program is a perfect complement to the cytochrome P450 DNA testing I've been using for the last two years."
