Kudos on the launch!

If I read this correctly, your team isn't discovering new drugs, but addressing the logistical need of building new compounds to make drugs, using ML to circumnavigate the most efficacious route to generate said compounds. Once complete, you actually outsource to manufacturers to build the compound molecules using your ML generated map.

Is that close?

That's a great description. For now we are focused on helping others discover novel drugs (rather than developing our own) and we think using ML to design 'recipes', while solving logistical challenges of shipping molecules around the globe, is a really key part of that process. And yes the manufacturers do use our ML generated recipes to make the compounds.

Outside of this we also engage clients on more in-depth partnerships where we help design, make and test new drug candidates but again our real value-add/USP here is the 'make' stage.
