Figure 1 from the linked paper showing a ‘Schematic representation of in silico methods across the rare disease therapeutic pipeline.’ The caption reads: “Methods span from diagnosis (e.g., variant analysis) to drug discovery (e.g., virtual screening), preclinical development (e.g., disease modeling), and clinical trials (e.g., virtual patients, pharmacokinetics/ pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) modeling). Abbreviations: PBPK physiologically based pharmacokinetics, popPK population pharmacokinetics, HTS, high-throughput screening, QSAR quantitative structure–activity relationship.”
🖥️ #InSilico tech is revolutionizing #RareDisease research! 🦓
Computational models, machine learning, and digital twins can:
✅ Integrate complex data
✅ Simulate biology
✅ Predict actionable outcomes

The time may come when we look back and realise that animal experiments have been a huge and costly distraction, a path we might have done better to completely avoid.

A graphic with a photo of a white and grey rat standing up but slightly crouching in front of a geometric blue and yellow background. The text reads: “Business Wire. October 7, 2025. “This advance demonstrates the ability of Human-on-a-Chip systems to replicate complex neurological processes such as stress-related cognitive decline without the need for animal studies.” James Hickman, PhD. Chief Scientist, Hesperos.
🤝 Hesperos, Inc. and Bayer teamed up to create the first-ever human microphysiological system that can model central nervous system stress.

It’s time for the research community to move away from animal models and invest fully in #HumanRelevant science—approaches that use human cells, tissues, and data.

Patients would benefit from human-relevant science in place of preclinical animal tests that risk incorrect predictions of safety and efficacy. #betterscience #humanrelevant safermedicines.org/blog_post/on...

UK government needs to quickly up its game, or be left in the dirt by the forward-thinking US FDA, NIH and EPA, who now realise that #betterscience is #humanrelevant

Rather than try to create a “mouse model” of Tourette Syndrome, as has been done for years, scientists at Yale University conducted an animal-free study by examining human brain tissue. #animals #humanrelevant #Tourette

The FDA is phasing out animal testing for therapies like monoclonal antibodies, pushing for human-relevant “NAMs” like organ-on-a-chip, AI toxicity models & human cell assays. A huge shift we’ve long championed at MIMETAS.

30 Wochen #Einsamkeit im #Mäusekäfig? Solche #Tierversuche sind unnötig! Eine Studie mit 42.000 Menschen zeigt: Einsamkeit hinterlässt Spuren im Blut – eine Erkenntnis gewonnen ganz ohne #Tierleid. Wer den #Menschen verstehen will, muss auch am Menschen #forschen. #Humanrelevant statt #grausam!
