Pumashyx is an all-inclusive software platform for drug discovery that integrates pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modeling and biological simulation with machine learning algorithms, providing pharmaceutical researchers with a single toolset for performing in vivo simulation and drug design across the full drug development cycle. Built upon Julia programming language, it offers pharmaceutical researchers one toolbox for in vivo simulation and drug design across drug development spectrum.

The puma (Puma concolor) is one of the largest species among small cats and ranks fifth worldwide as a feline species. Often misnamed “cougar”, “mountain lion”, panther” or Florida catamount”

Pumas do not have natural predators in the wild, but must compete for prey with other large predators such as wolves and black/brown bears for food sources. Pumas often encounter one-on-one confrontations with wolves as well as high rates of theft from large carnivores such as packs of wolves.

Pumas differ from other large carnivores in that they leave intact carcasses behind as resources for other species to use. By feeding on decomposing ungulates, these predators create hotspots of nutrients in their territories that contribute to improved soil chemistry and plant life.

Panthera and its partners have discovered that pumas maintain relationships with 485 living species throughout the Western Hemisphere. Pumas play an integral part in maintaining ecosystems by providing shelter, food, and maintaining healthy balance between predator and prey populations; in turn acting as ecological engineers by altering habitat composition to have long-term benefits on health and biodiversity of their ecosystems.
