This article highlights the scope for developing therapeutics with new innovative, alternative approaches. The current trillion dollar pharmaceutical industry is in peril where the current drug development pipeline is slow, inefficient and incapable of being extended to multi-combination drug therapies as well as minimally focused on prevention. The complex modeling of diseases and biological functions has been limited because of the inability to integrate large scale molecular pathways.
Join this webinar IN SILICO MECHANISTIC MODELING: THE FOUNDATION OF PRECISION MEDICINE to understand how recent advances provide breakthrough technology for doing scalable modeling of complex molecular systems to dramatically accelerate drug discovery and development.
