Our take

Exscientia was founded to discover smarter and faster ways of developing better new drugs, helping people to live healthier and more productive lives. Its unique approach combines precision experiment with AI to drive products forwards at a rapid and unprecedented pace.

It is revolutionising the industry through leading the development of pharmatech, combining complex drug discovery and advanced artificial intelligence application. As the first company to have an AI-designed molecule enter clinical trials and the first to automate drug design, it has a unique market advantage over competitors.

Already, Exscientia offers unprecedented productivity in drug production, claiming to be able to cut down the time of finding new drugs to 6 months. With this revolutionary pharmatech approach, it is leading the way in helping save lives through automated drug design.

Moving forward, they plan to invest funding to continue the expansion of proprietary pipeline and end-to-end AI drug discovery capabilities
