Welcome to the Institute
The Institute for Molecular Intelligence™ harnesses advancements in technology to build solutions for Global Health. Building on the Institute’s unique platform for advancing drug discovery, resolving classical bottlenecks and offering deep expertise in chemistry, physics, and biology, we forge a path to accelerate AI impact for new medicines.
Founded in 2024, the Institute for Molecular Intelligence™ is a non-profit organization designed by, and for, leading scientists committed to building a powerful Focused Research Organization in Global Health. The core technologies will also be made available to partners across a range of priority diseases - contact us.
Our Strategy
-
Team Strength
First and foremost is our focus on the strength of our team with both proven scientific and practical experience, forged into one unit by a common commitment to the aims of this Focused Research Organization.
Growth of the members of the Institute over the upcoming periods will be carefully cultivated. Respect and camaraderie are featured elements, along with efficiency and focus. Dialog is vital, both internally as well as in skillful outreach across stakeholder communities.

Global Health & Technology Mission
The work of the Institute for Molecular Intelligence™ develops potent, integrated drug discovery methods tuned for incisive molecular design and molecular transmutation, in a set of blended lab & computational platforms at the heart of our non-profit Institute.
Benefits include the delivery of potential new medicines, by harnessing decades of genomic and chemical knowledge coupled with physics and chemistry-informed 3D AI.
The core pursuit is to empower the fight against Anti-Microbial Resistance, by accelerating a parallel attack on numerous microbiological target pathways at once.
This core focus encompasses ESKAPE pathogens, TB and related mycobacteria, as well as fungal diseases.
Partnerships then extend the beneficial applications of the platform to broader areas of human disease.

Institute for Molecular Intelligence™
Powering AI's Fundamental ability to perceive Chemistry
The power of AI in the design and optimization of new medicines is on the cusp of launching into a new era.
Medicinal R&D, however, is not to be underestimated as a complex multi-disciplinary challenge. The delivery of new drugs requires the relentless pursuit of a pipeline of Qualified Leads, preclinical IND-ready Drug Candidates, and phase-2-ready Drug Candidates that then feed into the ecosystem of pharma and biotech companies. A new pipeline with these deliverables is enabled by the novel approaches being championed by the Institute for Molecular Intelligence™.
-
Partners and Affiliates
The Institute is being designed with the ability to partner at all stages from fundamental discovery biology to the out-licensing of advanced Drug Candidates discovered internally through the Institute’s core methods.
Affiliates bring deep expertise in specialties ranging from BSL3 studies of pathogenic bacteria, including mycobacteria, and up through sophisticated functional models of disease. The Institute can supply a highly selective pipeline of innovative chemical leads delivered at a scale and quality that matches the throughput of those incisive disease-relevant models.

About
Our co-founders
After a combined 7 decades in physics, chemistry, biotech - in the for-profit sector and the non-profit sector - and having developed creative computational systems for molecular discovery, the co-founders found themselves immersed into anti-microbial research at the same time as the rise of AI methods in science & business.
In 2024, we set out to build a Platform for Molecular Intelligence™ based on empowering AI to "truly see" organic molecular structures using principles from organic chemistry, physical chemistry, molecular biophysics, molecular pharmacology, and drug discovery.
