Physics-modeling software solves drug-delivery engineering problem
Software that models the laws of physics is usually used by theoretical physicists. But a multi-physics program based on “1st principles” can be used in real-world applications, as evidenced by a problem that cropped up for Eli Lilly (NYSE:LLY) while developing needle-based drug-delivery systems. Bernard McGarvey, a senior engineering advisor for the US pharma giant, said the […]
