過去簡單式

This guy created a virtual human with his team, and they gave it a disease.

這位仁兄和他的團隊創造了一個虛擬人類，還讓他罹患了疾病。

And it's finally possible to create virtual humans to treat diseases.

現在終於有可能創造虛擬人類來治療疾病了。

If we want to make a treatment for a disease like Parkinson's, you know how long it takes?

如果我們要為像帕金森氏症這樣的疾病開發治療方法，你知道需要多久嗎？

It's hard to find treatments that work till today.

直到今天，要找到有效的療法還是很困難。

Right now, millions of people are suffering from many of these diseases without good drugs.

現在，有數百萬人正飽受許多疾病之苦，卻沒有好的藥物。

So what if we and test drugs on virtual humans first.

所以，如果我們能先在虛擬人類身上進行測試，會怎麼樣呢？

What if we can build a virtual human inside a very strong computer and test drugs on them?

如果我們能在非常強大的電腦裡建立一個虛擬人類，並在他們身上測試藥物，會怎麼樣呢？

結果是，現在已經有可能這麼做了。

They took a very strong computer, it's as strong as 20,000 laptops, and

他們使用了一臺非常強大的電腦，其效能相當於 20,000 臺筆記型電腦，而且

Every molecule in your body can be represented with numbers.

你身體裡的每一個分子都可以用數字來表示。

And we can represent a virtual human body with billions and billions of numbers in a computer.

我們可以在電腦裡用數十億、數百億個數字來表示一個虛擬人體。

接下來就開始變得超乎想像了。

They can give a virtual human a disease like cancer, Alzheimer's, or Parkinson's simply by changing some of these numbers.

他們可以透過改變某些數字，讓虛擬人類罹患癌症、阿茲海默症或帕金森氏症等疾病。

And by doing so, we can then model what it would look like to give this virtual drug, this drug, into that virtual human.

這樣一來，我們就可以模擬把這種虛擬藥物，也就是這種藥，給予那個虛擬人類會是什麼樣子。

We could do that billions and billions of times.

我們可以這樣做數十億、數百億次。

And then they give virtual humans treatments to see if they work simply by doing math.

然後他們讓虛擬人類接受治療，看看治療是否有效，這一切都只是透過數學運算。

And by doing that billions of times, we can change it slightly every single time.

透過這樣做數十億次，我們每次都可以做一點點的調整。

We can find the right optimal solution for that particular disease.

我們可以找到針對那種特定疾病的最佳解決方案。

And after we're done with all those billions and billions of times we ran that in the big computer, then we could start doing it in real humans.

在我們透過超級電腦跑了數十億、數百億次之後，我們就可以開始在真人身上進行實驗了。

If the drugs work virtually on their computer model, biopharma companies test them on real humans.

如果藥物在電腦模型上虛擬有效，生技製藥公司就會在真人身上進行測試。

And that is how you can make new drugs faster, cheaper, and safer.

這就是我們如何能夠更快、更便宜、更安全地開發新藥。

We brought up the probability that we're going to be successful in those clinical trials.

我們提高了臨床試驗成功的機率。

It's what Jack and his team are doing today here in Palo Alto, California.

這就是 Jack 和他的團隊今天在加州 Palo Alto 所做的事情。

In the future, I will not be surprised if they can find novel treatments for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and

在未來，如果他們能找到治療阿茲海默症、帕金森氏症和

癌症的新療法，我一點也不會感到意外。

The industry has been working on many of these diseases for decades, for 30, 40 years.

這個產業已經在研究這些疾病幾十年了，三十年、四十年了。

而現在，終於，我們可以做得更好了。

Your life may be saved by the science on this wine.

你的人生，或許就能因為這杯酒裡的科學而獲救。
