AI drug discovery platforms

Molecule design and chemistry software 3 companies

Chemists use software and AI models to design molecules and predict how they will behave, before making any of them in a lab.

OpenEye (Cadence Molecular Sciences)OpenEye, part of Cadence, with engineers in Bengaluru, sells the software with which chemists design and test molecules on a computer.BengaluruHiring now

EnvedaEnveda, with engineers in Hyderabad, uses AI to find new medicines in the chemistry of plants.Hyderabad

Albert InventAlbert Invent, with engineers in Bengaluru, sells an AI platform for chemistry and materials research, from the first experiment onwards.

Biological data and modelling 3 companies

Drug researchers work with large amounts of genetic and biological data. These companies clean it, generate it, and model how the body works.

ElucidataElucidata, with engineers in Bengaluru, sells Polly, which cleans biological and genetic data and puts it into one consistent form.

Biostate AIBiostate AI reads which genes are active in a cell, with an AI assistant to analyse the results.

MetFlux ResearchMetFlux Research, with engineers in Bengaluru, models the human body's processes on a computer to test ideas for medicines.

What's changing

The molecule is designed by an AI model.

AI models can now propose new molecules with the properties a medicine needs, and predict which will work. The first medicines designed this way are in human trials.
