There was a time when using animals to test products intended for humans was an accepted practice. However, as society evolved, scientists and product developers realized the results of animal experiments didn’t always apply to humans. Also, animal experimentation is expensive, and it’s a practice many people understandably view as cruel.
As a result, scientists continually explore ways to verify the suitability of products without using animals. Let’s take a look at some of the methods both in use and in development.read more..
This article highlights the scope for developing therapeutics with new innovative, alternative approaches. The current trillion dollars 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.
Watch this Video to understand how recent advances provide breakthrough technology for doing scalable modeling of complex molecular systems to dramatically accelerate drug discovery and development.
