About the Company: Led by Tushar Pandey, CEO, SimBioSys provides a novel, simulation-based, precision medicine platform that enables individualized treatment planning for cancer patients. The company’s technology virtualizes individual tumors and – through biophysical simulations – delivers insights on specific traits, such as tumor morphology, drug delivery, and metabolism, while simultaneously predicting response to therapy. SimBioSys’ application combines artificial intelligence with biophysical simulations to model the impact of phenomena such as drug delivery, metabolism, and spatial heterogeneity in a comprehensive model using standard-of-care data alone. The results are generated within minutes, enabling physicians to make informed decisions while improving patient experience and shared decision-making. In addition, the technology can support the drug development process across pre-clinical and clinical trial settings.
