our story

From quantum physics to drug discovery

In 2015, three MIT postdoctoral physicists met over pizza for a late-night brainstorming session. They discussed the untapped potential of quantum-physics in drug discovery, dreaming of a new era in science. They shared a vision: To revolutionize crystal structure prediction & transform drug research. 

The success of their CSP platform, proven to have industry-leading accuracy in a blind test by Pfizer, kickstarted a period of rapid growth and ultimately paved the way for a pivotal collaboration in bringing Paxlovid to the market during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

What started with crystal structure prediction has ignited a transformative journey in drug research, biotechnology, and materials science using AI, quantum physics, and robotics. 

We don’t just adapt to trends: we create them, relentlessly driving the evolution of science and technology.
