XtalPi Inc. and Eli Lilly and Company are set to embark on a groundbreaking collaboration that will revolutionize the drug discovery process. The two companies will work together to create and deliver innovative drug candidates for an undisclosed target, using XtalPi’s cutting-edge AI capabilities and robotics platform. With up to $250 million in upfront and milestone payments, this partnership is poised to change the face of pharmaceutical research.
XtalPi’s ID4Inno™ platform is a game-changer in the world of small-molecule drug discovery. By combining AI algorithms with large-scale robotics, the platform can generate and investigate a target-specific mega chemical space, allowing researchers to quickly zero in on the most promising lead series. The platform uses generative AI models in iterative design-make-test-analyze cycles until a candidate with optimal drug properties emerges. XtalPi’s fleet of hundreds of autonomous robotic workstations can carry out precise and energy-efficient parallel chemical synthesis and assays 24/7, generating high-quality real-world data at scale.
This collaboration with Eli Lilly and Company is the latest in a series of partnerships that have seen Lilly at the forefront of AI-driven drug discovery. In 2019, Lilly partnered with Atomwise to develop up to ten drug targets, and this latest collaboration is set to take that work to the next level. With over 500 AI models and quantum physics algorithms at their disposal, the XtalPi team is poised to deliver a novel compound that Lilly will pursue in clinical and commercial development.
The future of drug discovery is here, and it’s powered by AI and robotics. With this groundbreaking collaboration, XtalPi and Eli Lilly and Company are leading the way toward a new era of pharmaceutical research and development.
