Focus: Computational Modeling
In the context of precision medicine, in silico trials play a pivotal role in advancing therapeutic research. These virtual trials utilize modelling and simulation techniques to assess potential treatments without physical experiments. Key aspects include: Development of Novel Therapies; Construction of Virtual Cohorts; Conceptual Framework for Regulatory Use;
Impactful Examples: Drug Safety Assessment; Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics; Target Identification; Animal Replacement.
In summary, in silico trials represent a paradigm shift in medical research, bridging precision medicine with computational innovation. Their impact extends beyond drug development, fostering a more humane and efficient approach to therapeutic evaluation.
