This looks very similar to our Moonshot open-science initiative and we love the idea of using crowdsourcing when such diseases lack commercial funding. If you know the folks who ar…

Thanks for this. Always keen to learn from older startups but I was unable to find the company you're referring to -- any idea as to the name?

This could be my misunderstanding of the definition of "designer drugs" but I interpreted this as substances which mimic controlled substances but don't trigger drug classification…

Yes, certainly an interesting idea. For now our models are trained on large corpora of organic chemistry reactions so our tech has some way to go before extrapolating outside this …

Ah yes, industrializing the Chemistry part of drug discovery is certainly a blue sky dream but a field nonetheless we try to stay updated on -- hardware to do automated synthesis c…

As a company we certainly work hard to ensure our technology is used for approved drug development. We have internal alerts as a company as to the risk of compounds being entered i…

Certainly we can appreciate that better designs are important though we chose to focus on synthesis as there is an oversupply of algorithms in literature/industry that can suggest …

Very kind comment, thank you!

Yes I guess I was referring to more robust, standard chemistry for which we would expect the pricing to be a little more formulaic. And you make a great point. We've been constantl…

1. We ensure that the compound is pure using analytical methods like NMR and LC/MS. In our Moonshot project, the assay cascade comprises biochemical assays against the main proteas…

Ah thanks for pointing this out; it is slightly misleading. Visa is only required if applicants want to work with us in our in-person office in the Bay Area, CA. If they are a non-…

Yes absolutely, the variance of pricing across different custom synthesis providers can be surprising. This we think though is actually an opportunity to serve our end users (drug …

That's a great description. For now we are focused on helping others discover novel drugs (rather than developing our own) and we think using ML to design 'recipes', while solving …

Thanks so much for the positive feedback! Forgive the very long read but yes biosciences can be a little opaque at times.

Hey everyone! We’re Alpha, Matt and Aaron, co-founders of PostEra ( https://postera.ai/ ). The title above is quite a mouthful (we used all 80 characters) so we'll begin by breakin…
