Drug manufacturers wanting to pre-estimate clinical effectiveness and side effects of new medications.  Medical device manufacturers wishing to see how a new cardiac valve or hip prosthesis might fare in the body.  Contract research organizations looking for guidance as they design and implement clinical trials for another company.  These are all potential clients for Spain’s ELEM Biotech.  ELEM uses high-powered computers to create mathematical models of the human body and its organs.  ELEM technology can predict drug distribution using a novel delivery system and blood flow patterns through a cardiac valve prothesis.  This information is invaluable to companies developing products and can spare patients predictable risks and disastrous outcomes that could occur during a clinical trial.   Another example of a riff on DuPont’s classic slogan: better living through computing.  https://elem.bio/ #ELEM #computer
