Information
Variational AI is a Vancouver-based generative AI drug discovery company founded by machine learning researchers from MIT, Caltech, Google Research, Microsoft Research, and D-Wave Quantum.
Our platform, Enki™, combines different models trained on millions of experimental data points, giving it the range to explore chemical space far beyond what traditional approaches can reach.
Enki shifts drug discovery from incremental optimization of known chemistry to genuine exploration of novel chemical space, surfacing better starting points with fewer experimental iterations.
Variational AI works with pharma and biotech partners, including Merck (MSD) and Rakovina Therapeutics, to accelerate early-stage small molecule drug discovery.
