While others talk about revolutionizing drug discovery, we’re doing it. We've
built a platform that runs UMAP on hundreds of thousands of molecules in
seconds, not hours. Our users interactively explore the chemical space on the
entire ChEMBL database, perform complex operations like substructure searches,
and collaborate on ideas - all in a web browser.
We handle everything - from data access and visualization to advanced ML/AI for
ADMET profiling. We're leveraging WebAssembly and WebGPU to push browser
capabilities to their limits, and CUDA and other tech on the server side.
