Why it matters

It takes years and billions of dollars to bring life saving drugs to market.

Computational drug discovery suffers from two central issues: 1) it is riddled with inaccuracies and approximations inherent in using classical physics, and 2) drug discovery teams continue to explore the same pharmaceutical and biological target spaces, in a world where novelty drives value generation. This, in part, contributes to the high rates of pharmaceutical research-and-development failures (70% of all projects, costing $193.2 billion annually). The industry continues to leverage antiquated tools to attempt the design of modern medicines.

How it works

Optimising drug discovery process using AI

Computational drug discovery, enhanced with integrated and scalable artificial intelligence and quantum mechanics, can model drug-protein structures and binding interactions with a level of precision unachievable with classical physics, as well as dramatically expand pharmaceutical and biological target space.
