LANCASTER, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Simulations Plus, Inc. (Nasdaq: SLP), a leading provider of modeling and simulation software and services for pharmaceutical safety and efficacy, today announced that its Cognigen division worked with a major pharmaceutical company to implement modeling and simulation activities to support the development of a candidate COVID-19 therapy. This modeling and simulation work provided significant contributions towards regulatory submissions for the compound.
