We are pleased and honored to receive EU funding support for the implementation of our AI-based platform for preclinical research. Since Experimentica’s inception in 2013, our strategy was to combine state-of-the-art technology with our scientific expertise and know-how in order to advance and accelerate the preclinical pipelines of pharma and biotech companies. This business model has positioned Experimentica as a global leader in the ophthalmic CRO market. Our next goal is to introduce AI-based prediction of drug efficacy and safety, which will shape the CRO industry already in the near future”, said Dr. Giedrius Kalesnykas, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of the company.

Our continued investment into development of novel technological approaches will sustain Experimentica’s role as industry leader and position us to be at the forefront of model development for the preclinical testing of ophthalmic drug candidates for our clients. Combining artificial intelligence with traditional preclinical testing will offer new opportunities for therapeutic development for the many complex and debilitating ophthalmic indications”, added Dr. Simon Kaja, Chief Scientific Officer of Experimentica.
