Summary
Ångström AI builds GenAI-based molecular simulations for pharma and biotech companies to verify drug efficacy and safety. Founded by Javier Antorán and Laurence Midgley (PhDs from Cambridge), along with professors Miguel Hernández-Lobato and Gábor Csányi, they combine quantum-accurate physics models with diffusion models to match wet lab accuracy while being 100x faster. They solve the problem of slow, expensive wet lab experiments by constraining GenAI simulations to obey physics laws, avoiding hallucinations. They've published the first molecule water solubility results within wet lab error ranges and kicked off a $150K pilot with a pharma company.
