Models and Machines: How Deep Learning Will Take Clinical Pharmacology to the Next Level

Abstract

Recent advances in machine learning (ML) have led to enthusiasm about its use throughout the biopharmaceutical industry. The ML methods can be applied to a wide range of problems and have the potential to revolutionize aspects of drug development. The incorporation of ML in modeling and simulation (M&S) has been eagerly anticipated, and in this perspective, we highlight examples in which ML and M&S approaches can be integrated as complementary parts of a clinical pharmacology workflow.
