Summary
Do you know how long it takes for a drug to reach the pharmacy? Drug development, testing, and approval take 10 to 15 years and cost millions of euros. Most of this time and money go into clinical trials, which are essential for proving the drug's safety and effectiveness. Clinical trials are crucial, but can we make this process faster, cheaper, and safer for both animals and humans? The short answer is yes. For the longer answer, we turn to the guest of this episode, Francesco Pappalardo, Professor of Computer Science at the University of Catania.
