Our take
To help elevate biology for healthcare, DeepMirror is building a molecular drug design platform that leverages the power of generative AI to streamline the discovery of medically active molecules.
DeepMirror's AI is able to suggest realistic molecules, that could be synthesised without too much difficulty, and are both safe and active for medicinal use. Through the platform, scientists can also run custom predictions based on their own compounds and data, and rank and prioritise their synthetic targets.
Ultimately, these features have the potential to fast-track research and drug discovery, supporting better healthcare outcomes. As a spin-out of the University of Cambridge, DeepMirror benefits from a respected foundation, and has launched its Early Access Programme for the platform after a successful closed beta.

The variety, breadth and complexity of the work we do and is staggering. It means steep learning curves but extremely rewarding successes. DeepMirror doesn't shy away from challenges. We have a very strong technical team that encourages and supports me as an individual, providing the help and learning I need to navigate hard projects and complicated tasks.

Challenging work
Jan 2024
Dissent and constructive feedback is encouraged and fostered at all levels. Having a culture that listens thoughtfully to feedback makes each individual much more likely to voice their thoughts. As a naturally quieter person, I have a tendency to be quieter in larger groups. At DeepMirror, I not only feel like I can speak up, but I frequently get asked for my opinion and it is given careful consideration every time.

Open and honest communication
Jan 2024
I frequently get asked for my take on an issue or a ticket. Specific questions are asked about what my expected outcome would be or how I would like the solution to look like. More often than not, my opinions make it into the end product/part of the decision making process

There's so much to do that autonomy is an essential part of working at DeepMirror. My manager trusts me to take the initiative, make important decisions and drive forward my ideas. That being said, support has always been there when I've needed it. This approach is one of my favourite things about working here.

Autonomy
Jan 2024
I would describe the team energy as welcoming, ambitious, excitable and focused. I feel lucky to work with such lovely people, who became good friends very quickly after I started working at DeepMirror. Everyone is driven, but supportive and knows how to have fun, which makes it so enjoyable to come into work each day.

Employees at DeepMirror are encouraged to have strong opinions. If I make my point, then it will be heard but also questioned, which I think is an excellent way to make decisions. If I, or anyone, hasn't contributed, we're often asked for our opinions, so even for people less eager to speak their mind, their opinions are still listened to and valued.
