Reply to comment by Sashinii in Happy New Year Everyone. It's time to accelerate even more 🤠 by Pro_RazE

It won’t because it has to make it through clinical trials. It might bring a lot more drugs/therapies into the pipeline though

Computer simulations will accelerate clinical trials, but probably not fast enough for 2023.

Yeah but to make it to hospitals they need to go through 3 phases of human clinical trials by current standards, which can take up to a decade.

In the future we may be able to simulate human trials but that technology is not present currently

Also, beyond technology there's legality. And those things move much slower.

That’s why reforming the FDA needs to be priority #1. The good news is that we just made huge progress regarding the FDA process. It is now a lot easier to skip animal trials and do human trials.

Yes in silico models will help greatly with this. With AGI we could develop in silico models pretty fast

Are you … not familiar with the reasons why we do animal trials? o_O

I am; but having safe medicines be able to go straight to human trials is still huge
