About
Ångström AI is a Cambridge University spinout founded in 2024 by Javier Antoran, José Miguel Hernández-Lobato, and Laurence Midgley. The company develops GenAI-based molecular simulations to substitute for wet lab experiments in pre-clinical drug development, combining quantum-accurate physics models with generative AI so that biotech and pharmaceutical clients can verify a drug candidate's efficacy and safety in computer simulations that match wet lab accuracy while running over 100x faster. The company uses the MACE (multi-atomic cluster expansion) physics model to reproduce quantum-mechanical interactions accurately, and its recent research showed simulations that are the first to match lab experiments when estimating hydration-free energies. Ångström AI accelerates MACE simulations using diffusion models to make them computationally affordable. It is backed by Y Combinator and was founded by a team of two PhDs and two Professors from Cambridge.
