VeriSIM Life and Mayo Clinic Team Up to Co-develop New Therapies

VeriSIM Life (VeriSIM), a US-based artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled company that provides drug discovery and drug development services, has entered into a collaboration with Mayo Clinic to improve the preclinical translation of promising drug candidates for development.

Under the agreement, VeriSIM will use its proprietary BIOiSIM platform and Translational Index technology to reduce the number of outsourced preclinical experiments. These platforms are also expected to help de-risk R&D decisions early on to ensure expedited development of novel, safe, and highly efficacious drugs, according to a June 28, 2022 company press release. Mayo Clinic physician researchers will work with VeriSIM in key disease areas, including oncology, hematology, bone/joint-disorders, and neurological diseases.

“This collaboration will explore the full potential of our combined approach to developing best-in-class drug candidates to serve patients’ unmet needs,” said Jo Varshney, founder and CEO of VeriSIM Life, in the press release.
