The FDA Modernization Act strikes out the language referencing animal testing and introduces, in its place, “non-clinical tests” such as those made possible by AI and data modeling. This change has seen a level of bipartisan support rarely witnessed in legislation today, and it is a critical milestone in the history of R&D in that it supports use of simulation and predictive technologies to increase efficiency and candidate success.VeriSIM Life has been ahead of the curve in recognizing these advantages for five years and counting, pioneering the way towards this inevitable industry change by using technology to help clients increase the efficacy of preclinical testing while taking measures towards “de-risking” the process.

Biosimulation, which uses computer simulations of biological processes to predict the behavior of biological systems, is on a significant growth trajectory – thanks in part to the FDA’s strong recommendation for adopting biosimulation, an overall increase in predictive biosimulation in the research and development (R&D) process, and the recent use of biosimulation platforms for the development of COVID-19 vaccines. Now, as pharmaceutical and biotech companies continue to invest in artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled tools and technologies, we should expect to see even more widespread adoption of biosimulation across drug discovery and development.

Mechanistic models serve as a useful candidate for modeling the detailed inner workings of a system in a true-to-life manner, going above and beyond simulating basic input and output. They can be used as a tool to improve preclinical translatability, reduce time and cost investments, and solve real-world problems safely.

AI technologies like deep learning, machine learning and natural language processing have the potential to address many of the challenges that traditionally plague drug R&D – accelerating molecule design and testing, streamlining essential processes, improving chances of clinical success, and reducing costs throughout the development pipeline.
