Digital twins, which are virtual replicas of real-world systems, are being explored for their potential to transform drug discovery. This innovative technology could improve the efficiency of research and accelerate the process of developing new treatments, offering a promising approach to the pharmaceutical industry. By simulating biological systems, digital twins have the potential to change how drugs are developed, making the process more effective and streamlined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read this article to learn more about how digital twins can help reduce the number of injuries and deaths caused by medical devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vocabulary Questions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. What does “intersperse<\/strong>” mean? “Using biological data from real people, Sanofi creates AI-based simulated patients – not actual clones of specific individuals – that can be interspersed <\/strong>across the control and placebo groups within the trial.”<\/em> Make a sentence and give a synonym.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Define “next frontier<\/strong>“. “Powering the next generation of digital twins with accurate AI models of complex human biology is the next frontier<\/strong>.\u201d<\/em> Use this in a sentence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. What does “a fraction of something<\/strong>” mean? \u201cEven a fraction of those deaths<\/strong> – and the associated lawsuits – could have been avoided with more thorough testing.”<\/em> Create a sentence with this.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
