Atomwise, Inc. develops artificial intelligence solutions for drug discovery. The company was formerly known as Chematria, Inc. and changed its name to Atomwise, Inc. in 2015. Atomwise, Inc. was founded in 2012 and is based in San Francisco, California.

Like software used to design airplanes and computer chips in simulation, Atomwise can help make predictions about new potential medicines before they are made, reducing the need for costly and time-consuming physical synthesis and testing. Its groundbreaking AtomNet drug research technology learns like a human chemist, using powerful deep learning algorithms and elastic supercompute platforms to analyze millions of potential medicines each day.

Atomwise has delivered significant research results since its seed funding in 2015. Dozens of its discovery programs have achieved success in the hands of its partners, contrasting with an industry that typically has extremely high rates of failure for comparable work. AtomNet has dramatically outperformed status quo technologies, identifying “active” hit compounds at a rate up to 10,000X higher than the physical high-throughput screening methods it augments. Today, Atomwise screens more than 10 million compounds every day.
