Physiomics secures third major pharmaceutical client in matter of months

Physiomics plc (AIM: PYC), a provider of technology-based solutions to predict the effects of cancer treatment regimens for the biopharma industry, is delighted to announce that it has been awarded a contract by a further major (global top-10) pharmaceutical client.  The project, which has a value of approximately £70k, is expected to be completed during the Company's current financial year and involves the use of Physiomics' Virtual Tumour technology in a pre-clinical setting.

Physiomics' Virtual Tumour is a sophisticated computer model that simulates tumour cell division and predicts the effect of different anti-cancer regimes to support pre-clinical and clinical oncology development programs. Virtual Tumour helps customers to balance efficacy and toxicity and to prioritise the most effective drug combinations while reducing time and cost.

Dr Jim Millen, CEO said: "We believe that the signing of agreements with three major pharmaceutical clients within the space of three months is a real sign of the confidence in our technology that is starting to build within the industry.  Our aim now will be to develop longer-term relationships with these major companies and to secure further pre-clinical and clinical projects."
