Better Medicines Faster
About us
Atomwise is a preclinical pharma company revolutionizing how drugs are discovered with AI. Atomwise has strengthened its drug discovery and development expertise by expanding its Board of Directors and creating a Scientific Advisory Board (SAB). These appointments signal a critical milestone for Atomwise as the company focuses on its own internal pipeline. We invented the use of deep learning for structure-based drug discovery, today developing a pipeline of small-molecule drug candidates advancing into preclinical studies. Our AtomNet® technology has been used to unlock more undruggable targets than any other AI drug discovery platform. We are tackling over 600 unique disease targets with more than 250 partners around the world, including leading pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and emerging biotechnology companies. Atomwise has raised over $174 million from leading venture capital firms to advance our mission to make better medicines, faster. We’re at a critical time in history where our need for new kinds of medicines is greater than any time in human memory. Fortunately, we can leverage advancing technology and scientific breakthroughs to accelerate discovery. New data, new algorithms, new compute platforms lift all of us, enable our work on the hardest of problems, empower us to invent and create, and ultimately save one billion lives.

Highlighting a great piece of work from the Atomwise team! In this ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters paper, we describe the AI-enabled discovery of a novel and selective AKR1C3 inhibitor with the potential to be developed into a synergistic agent in the treatment of certain drug resistant cancers. We virtually screened several million compounds and tested 87 selections. The best hit had a 122 nM enzymatic IC50, showed efficacy in cancer cell models, and had its mechanism of action verified via crystallography. A great example of AI unlocking new possibilities in drug discovery.
