Abstract

The recent rebranding of Facebook to Meta signalled the company’s focus on investment in the Metaverse (or Omniverse if you are following NVIDIA’s developments). Whatever the name, the ‘verse had a global market size of $38.8bn in 2021 and is expected to grow to $678bn by 2030. Is this the beginning of something big, and should pharmacologists already be looking to embrace it early in its development phase? In this article, we will explore what the pharmacology of the future might look like in the Metaverse and how it could change our teaching and research.
