ABOUT US

Empowering deep understanding of biology

We help scientists solve disease and extend healthspan by building tools that simplify R&D, simulate biology, and untangle the complexity of life.

Our principles for deciphering life

Expand health and longevity

Expand health and longevity

We exist to improve healthspan. We see a future where everyone can lead a healthy life enabled by routine health monitoring, precise simulation, and personalized therapy.

Accelerate drug discovery

Accelerate drug discovery

To improve healthspan, we must reduce the time, effort, and resources needed to develop drugs. We envision tools that enable scientists to generate compounds quickly, predict their efficacy reliably, and manufacture them inexpensively.

Decipher the mechanisms of life

Decipher the mechanisms of life

Our goal is to understand the physiochemical systems responsible for biology. We aim
to build holistic models, from individual atoms to whole organisms, that use physics and AI
to accurately predict biological behavior.

Empower scientists

Empower scientists

Our strategy is to equip scientists with powerful tools. We see researchers seamlessly combining robotic labs, insightful AI, and precise simulations. Scientists will be able to focus on science, without the challenges of engineering, infrastructure, and operations.

Foster collaborative discovery

Foster collaborative discovery

Unraveling biology is a massive challenge. We aim to bring scientists, engineers, and
entrepreneurs together to explore the unknown and push the boundaries of life.

Democratize scientific knowledge and inquiry

Democratize scientific knowledge and inquiry

We believe that health is a right. In the future, scientists should be able to conduct
experiments cheaply and easily in silico. The benefits of the knowledge they create
should be accessible to all.
