Background: A Passionate Founder with a Vision
Behind the success of Mimicry Solutions is Dessi McEntee, a seasoned professional with a deep-rooted passion for animal welfare and drug development. Dessi's journey began with her love for animals, which led her to pursue an animal science degree in college. After graduation, she joined Pfizer, where she worked as a study scientist responsible for executing studies involving animal testing. It was during this time that Dessi witnessed the sacrifices animals made for drug development, which weighed heavily on her conscience.
Driven by a desire to make a difference, Dessi embarked on a path of continuous learning and professional growth. She obtained a master's degree in pharmacology and toxicology from Pfizer and went on to work for various companies in the pharmaceutical industry, specializing in non-clinical toxicology strategies. Throughout her career, Dessi honed her expertise in the field, becoming a board-certified toxicologist.
About Mimicry Solutions: A Revolutionary Approach to Drug Development
Mimicry Solutions is revolutionizing drug development through its innovative platform called ARTEMIS™ (Advanced Readouts of Toxicological Endpoints by Model Informed Solutions). ARTEMIS™ is a computational platform designed to turn animal predictions of drug safety into human predictions.
This groundbreaking platform will eventually be able to reinvent drug safety paradigms, and shift drug safety assessment and regulatory decisions away from relying solely on animal data.
By leveraging advanced machine learning technologies and a novel analysis approach, Mimicry Solutions provides more clinically relevant toxicological readouts using animal data, enabling pharmaceutical and biotech companies to assess the safety of new drugs more effectively. This breakthrough will not only dramatically reduce the need for animal testing but also significantly reduce the time and resources required for drug development.
Mimicry Solutions primarily caters to pharmaceutical and biotech companies striving to bring new drugs to market. By providing a reliable and efficient alternative to animal testing, the company aims to expedite the drug development process, ultimately benefiting patients worldwide.
