drug-response

drug-response is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zamushwani/biomedical-ai-skills. It costs 0 tokens per session (3,663 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for estimating how cancer cell lines respond to different drug doses and for predicting sensitivity from molecular data. It includes measures such as IC50, the dose that reduces a response by half, and AUC, the total area under a response curve.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to fit dose-response curves, estimate IC50 or AUC, retrieve GDSC, CTRP, PRISM, DepMap, or CCLE data, harmonize datasets, predict sensitivity, and find pharmacogenomic biomarkers.
Why use it?
It helps compare drug-response data from different experiments and datasets without confusing response measures or mixing incompatible formats. It also supports looking for molecular features linked to sensitivity.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

drug-response scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Drug Response

Dose-response modeling and drug sensitivity prediction in cancer cell lines. Covers IC50 and AUC estimation from viability curves, retrieval and harmonization of GDSC, CTRP, and PRISM data through PharmacoGx, DepMap dependency and drug data, sensitivity prediction with regularized regression, and pharmacogenomic biomarker discovery.

When to Use This Skill

Activate when the user requests:

  • IC50, EC50, or AUC estimation from dose-response data
  • Four-parameter logistic (4PL) curve fitting
  • GDSC, CTRP, PRISM, or CCLE drug sensitivity retrieval
  • DepMap dependency or drug screen data
  • Cross-dataset harmonization of drug response
  • Drug sensitivity prediction from expression or mutation
  • Pharmacogenomic biomarker discovery
  • Distinguishing IC50 from AUC as a response metric

Inputs

Data Type Format Source
Dose-response Concentration, viability per well Screening plates, published curves
Curated sensitivity PharmacoSet (.rds) PharmacoGx, ORCESTRA
Cell line molecular Expression, mutation, CNV matrices DepMap, CCLE
Drug annotation SMILES, target, mechanism DepMap, ChEMBL

                    GDSC processed data is mirrored through DepMap and wrapped
                    by PharmacoGx, which is how to obtain it reliably now.

Because the primary GDSC portal is unstable, prefer the curated PharmacoSet
route over scraping raw files. It also fixes the harmonization problems below.
