In Silico Medicine
Researching next-generation life sciences innovations in the UK, in partnership with KTN
UK SMEs are using ‘in silico’ technologies to support a range of exciting outcomes in the life sciences and medical technology sectors. These include improving and accelerating our ability to tackle disease and health problems with more effective treatments, drugs and medical devices.
In silico refers to the use of computer modelling and simulation to undertake virtual experiments.
Over the last decade, in silico SMEs in the UK have received a total of £860m worth of equity investment. Most funding rounds have been secured by companies at the venture or seed stage, reflecting the relative youth of the sector.
This investment, alongside university and corporate support, is key to the ongoing development of in silico technologies, and the UK is well placed to become a global leader in this space.
