The human body is an immensely complex system of chemical reactions.
And before you say “simulate it”, we don’t have nearly enough computational resources to do that. Simple reactions or chains of reactions, yes, but even a simple body process consists of multiple steps and a number of large, complex molecules.
This right here. We can definitely model how a single chemical effects cells, but what about multiple chemicals together. The reality is we are still very far from simulating something like the side effects from multiple interacting drugs at once.
We will likely discover some incredible insights when we do this though.
