In Silico Discovery Meets Empirical Discovery

We Design

We explore our proprietary 1859 virtual library for a specific disease target and then design focused libraries of small molecules predicted to affect that target in a desired way.

We Build

We construct the focused libraries of small molecules for testing in a matter of weeks.

We Test

We screen focused libraries in a biochemical or cell based context at the pico-scale, with a few milliliters of materials.

We Learn

We discover the identity of the molecules that affected the disease target, and then leverage machine learning and AI to design new focused libraries predicted to produce even better discoveries.

You have a novel target?
We have a novel library.

We offer the ability to navigate chemical space unimpeded by the capital and time constraints of the status quo, giving our partners access to the right type of chemical matter from the start of a discovery program. We use both structure-based and ligand-based virtual screening methods to identify the right properties of the molecules needed to affect a particular disease target. Lastly, we offer the ability to screen our growing inventory of Training Set Libraries designed to tease out the types of molecules we should include in a subsequent library design.

TESTIMONIALS—

We are giving major pharmaceutical
partners unprecedented capabilities.

“…we are enthusiastic about the potential for 1859’s technology to enable miniaturized cell-based assays, ultra-high throughput screening, and rapid exploration of chemical space. The 1859 team has proven to be excellent partners.”
