Justin Wilkins<p>We can use <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Pharmacometric" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Pharmacometric</span></a> models like these to <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Simulate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Simulate</span></a> clinical trials, dose regimens and so on, in silico, so that we can predict what will happen when we actually give a drug to a human, and whether the design we have proposed for our clinical trial will actually work when we run it.</p>
