Physiomics' Virtual Tumour is a sophisticated computer model that simulates tumour cell division and predicts the effect of different anti-cancer regimes.

The modelling helps with efficacy and toxicity and identifies the best drug combinations.

Jim Millen, chief executive, said: "We are delighted to be working with a significant new client. If this initial project is successful, we would hope to develop a longer-term relationship."

In November, Physiomics completed a human Virtual Tumour project with Merck following which it signed a master services agreement with the German pharma giant.
