on a larger scale and faster than has ever before been possible.
Our closed loop system generates precise chemical datasets at
unrivaled scale that work seamlessly with AI to systematically map
biochemical interactions between small molecules and causes of
disease. Iterative cycles of virtual molecular design and
experimentation power AI and machine learning models, which in turn
guide the next cycle of design. With a chemistry engine that
measures billions of interactions daily and becomes increasingly
precise with every cycle, we can answer an unprecedented array of
