physics available to you, you kind of need to turn to the data piece of things, right?
Yes.
So I am super bullish on the idea of virtual cells.
I think those are going to be really amazing for biology.
And they're going to be really amazing for figuring out how can we screen a bunch of hypotheses at once in a cellular environment and look at cellular perturbations and see what happens.
The problem with, and so that I don't want to demean that effort because that is going to be transformative for biology and our ability to hypothesis test at scale within the in vitro environment that doesn't necessarily have predictive value for humans.
So there are lots of things we know work in cells.
Treatments for cancer, they work in cells.
They even cure mice, right?
As we go off the thing, like if you are a mouse, we know how to cure your cancer at this point in time.
Like it is a very good time to be a mouse.
I often joke about that, that like maybe we are in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy because any disease you have, we can pretty much cure it in a mouse at this point.
But-
that has a very low predictive value for humans.
So like a 97% or 90% higher of those things that work in cells and work in mice ultimately fail to move the needle in humans.
And so understanding the cell a lot better is going to help us get a lot more leads to bring into the process.
But we still need to figure out how do we actually bridge that process and get a better predictive value, better connect what happens in the cell to understanding how that relates and predicts whether or not something's actually going to treat a human.
For those that are interested in this topic, I highly recommend reading Stephen Wolfram's writings on biology and his theory of computational irreducibility.
And he's someone that has really been doing a lot of work in understanding
There are some systems that you just have to model, right?
