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.”

Computational models, machine learning, and digital twins can:
✅ Integrate complex data
✅ Simulate biology
✅ Predict actionable outcomes

The Alliance for Human Relevant Science welcomes the government's roadmap to phase out animal testing. We are ready to help deliver and accelerate this vital transition. #betterscience #humanrelevant

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

Experimental methods that don’t use animals, like tissue chips and computational models, lead to the development of safer and more effective therapies and pharmaceuticals.

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!
Animal tests are notoriously bad at identifying liver-toxic drugs. Now is the time to implement predictive complex in vitro models of human livers into routine drug testing #betterscience #humanrelevant

“I’m not a mouse, I’m not even a monkey,” she says. “When we are doing drug testing in animals, and then we take it into a clinical trial in humans we see a lot of drugs fail.” #betterscience #humanrelevant

“We’re not going to be able to replace animals in biomedical research with the meager investments that federal agencies are now making.”

The time has come for a decisive shift away from animal testing and toward technologies that prioritize accuracy, facilitate precision medicine and establish more humane research practices #betterscience #humanrelevant
"In order to successfully tackle cancer, we must embrace its complexity, prioritize prevention, and transition to innovative research methods that use human-focused models"
