Inside Precision Medicine December 12, 2025
What if we could simulate the cell? The basic unit of life, baring the intricate molecular networks that keep us alive and inviting scientists to endlessly unravel its secrets. Some see the virtual cell as the holy grail of biology research, while others argue it is outright impossible to ever come near simulating the full constellation of molecular interactions a cell harbors.
Scientists have toyed with the concept of a virtual cell for decades. However, it is only recently that advances in biology and artificial intelligence have made it possible for them to take their first steps towards simulating the cell.
Once—and if—we get there, this technology could redefine precision medicine.
“Virtual cells could dramatically accelerate drug discovery by predicting...
