Can AI increase the pace and quality of pharmaceutical research? VeriSIM Life says yes

VeriSIM Life has also created virtual analogs of real world species, including humans, dogs, rats, pigs, and numerous other animals.

For Varshney, the quest is a personal one: not only was her father in the pharmaceutical business, but she has been interested in the field since she was two years old, she told VentureBeat, and originally began her career as a veterinarian before obtaining a PhD in genomics and computational sciences at University of California San Francisco. But equally important to the platform is that VeriSIM Life has also created virtual analogs of real world species, including humans, dogs, rats, pigs, and numerous other animals regularly used in clinical trials to test drug compounds. Clearly, VeriSIM hopes to make a dent with its BIOiSIM platform and Translational Index scores, and help drive down the costs, increase the success of drug trials, and ultimately, improve and extend the lives of people around the world.
