Only independently validated predictive models are worth considering

The predictive biological models arising from this process are highly theoretical. Furthermore, because of the many gaps in available information and the relative trust one can place in this information, any model thus generated will necessarily be incomplete and will contain undetected errors.
It thus becomes essential to test its biological validity.
This should not, and, indeed, must not, be carried out by the scientists who built the model in the first place.
To be of any value, this critical step must be carried out blindly by scientists who were not, at any stage, involved with the model construction process and who have no knowledge of the reasons behind the experimental tests to be undertaken.

Bio-Modeling Systems very stringently follows this all important precept.

Prior to exploitation in any way whatsoever, every model we generate is subjected to biological validation by entirely independent scientific teams in well respected institutions belonging to our extensive network of bio-medical specialists.
