A new approach to faster, smarter therapeutic development

Revolutionizing Pharmaceutical Research with Machine Learning

We’re a new approach to a timeless problem

The Problem VS THE SOLUTION

The traditional process of developing new medicines is slow and expensive, taking around 12 years and costing an average of $2.5 billion.

We saw an opportunity to do it better.

Our proprietary technique, iMilkWay, cuts through this complexity. By intelligently selecting the most promising compounds, we’ve compressed the development timeline to approximately 5.5 years and reduced the cost to around $300 million.

The Science of Precise Discovery

iMilkWay is a powerful machine-learning technique for virtual screening of vast databases. Instead of the costly and time-consuming process of physical screening, iMilkWay analyzes millions of compounds digitally to find the most promising candidates.

Our method works by identifying the perfect “key” (drug or nutraceutical) to fit a specific “lock” (therapeutic or biological target). This allows us to predict which substances are most likely to have the desired effect, providing a targeted list of proposals for further validation.

iMilkWay has already generated promising proposals of nutraceuticals and drug repurposing candidates for:

  • Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
  • SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)
  • Depression
  • Migraine
  • Obesity
  • Hyperglycemia
  • Hypercholesterolemia
  • Erectile dysfunction
