CytoReason and Ferring Pharmaceuticals announced a collaboration that pairs CytoReason’s artificial intelligence (AI)-based computational model of the human body with Ferring’s expertise in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The purpose is to develop cell-based disease models to accelerate drug discovery and reduce development costs.
In a groundbreaking study, scientists at Harvard University identified an enzyme that seems to dictate the limits of human physical performance.
