Animal Reduction Methods and Best Practices
Animal reduction techniques offer a variety of partial solutions to the enduring controversial issue of animal use in scientific research. In the United States alone, The Humane Society estimates that over 50 million animals are used in experiments annually.

What Is the Translational Gap and How Do You Close It?
Drug discovery has a translatability problem. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) once famously reported that for every drug that receives FDA approval, another 1,000 fail. In drug development, translatability refers to the basic principle of taking scientific findings from a laboratory setting and successfully translating them as therapeutic patient treatments in a clinical setting. This is sometimes also referred to as the bench-to-bedside process.

FDA Modernization Act & What It Means for VeriSIM Life
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 in Depth: A Detailed Guide
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.
