Do you want to know more about in #insilico clinical trial or virtual patients ? 🖥️ Listen to this 4th podcast of the @VPH_Institute about the digital twin theory !
💊Drug development, testing, and approval take 10 to 15 years and cost millions of euros, mainly for #ClinicalTrials Can we make this process faster, cheaper, and safer for both animals and humans? The short answer is yes. For the longer answer, listen to @ProfPappalardo, Prof of #ComputerScience at @unict_it @COMBINE_Group 🎧Listen on Spotify open.spotify.com/episode/2sj…
