No animals harmed in new chip drug tests that are faster and cheaper

Top scientists and investors believe a new Israeli-US AI can improve drug efficacy and safety, reduce development costs and minimize animal testing.

Billions of dollars, hundreds of mice and decades of years are sacrificed to research and development for the average pharmaceutical – with no guarantee of success. Nothing about that equation makes sense anymore.

And that’s why some of the most impressive minds in science are behind Israeli startup Quris, which is rolling out the world’s first clinical-prediction AI (artificial intelligence) platform to evaluate the safety and efficacy of new drugs.

This newly launched, highly scalable automated platform can test thousands of novel drug candidates at once, on hundreds of miniaturized “patients-on-a-chip.”

hundreds of mice

Hundreds?! Try tens of thousands. I was a paper-pusher for a short while at Bristol-Myers Squibb, and the appetite for ordering lab mice was insatiable.

Sure, skip the animal testing and go right to human testing. Gotta protect the animals, you know.

They have plenty of sub humans just across the fence there.

The big problem is that Humans are biased, and therefore so are their products. We see it in climate modeling and social media algorithms, so any coding related to AI (which I understand isn’t real, true, deep learning AI) will also be biased.

It’ll end poorly unless it’s done very, very well.
