Stay focused and continue to check in with your mentors and it will be that ‘tribe’ of people you surround yourself with who will put you in the right mindset to move forward in your life without feeling rejected and disheartened.”
Dr. Varshney is an active advocate of women in leadership programs and holds several advisory roles to enable diversity at the board level of companies.

About VeriSIM Life
VeriSIM Life has developed a sophisticated computational platform that leverages advanced AI and ML techniques to improve drug discovery and development by greatly reducing the time and money it takes to bring a drug to market. BIOiSIM™ is a first-in-class ‘virtual drug development engine’ that offers unprecedented value for the drug development industry by narrowing down the number of drug compounds that offer anticipated value for the treatment or cure of specific illnesses or diseases. The program not only reduces the time and cost of drug discovery and development, it also greatly reduces the need for animal testing that, in the vast majority of cases, does not translate to humans.
