Pioneering the next generation of drug discovery

Prediction to patient

It isn’t effective to start with a single target in mind.

Rare diseases are often not well studied and there is a limited understanding of many of the aspects necessary to support a drug discovery programme. Our AI platform overcomes these challenges by analysing millions of drug and disease data points to find novel connections that could be turned into new treatment opportunities. By applying frontier technologies across the discovery and development pipeline, we can run multiple stages in parallel and at scale.

 

This isn't traditional drug discovery

One disease, one target, one drug: it's an overly simple model, yet it's the one used by nearly all pharmaceutical companies.

The next generation of drug discovery is AI-powered, parallel and hypothesis-free. Bringing together the key three drug discovery paradigms.
