Clinical Translation in the Virtual Liver Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
The liver is the central detoxifying organ, continuously removing xenobiotics from the vascular system. Given its role in drug metabolism, a functional understanding of liver physiology is crucial to optimizing drug efficacy and patient safety. The Virtual Liver Network (VLN), a German national flagship research program, focuses on producing validated computer models of human liver physiology. These models are used to analyze patient-derived data and thereby gain mechanistic insights in the processes underlying drug pharmacokinetics (PK).
