Numerate is a biotechnology startup located in the San Francisco Bay Area. We are developing a proprietary computational platform to revolutionize drug discovery by dramatically reducing the time and cost involved in developing life-saving drugs. We use advanced machine learning techniques, coupled with expertise in computational chemistry and molecular biology, to predict the properties of potential drugs. Our high performance cloud computing framework leverages millions of CPU hours on Amazon's cloud to search among billions of candidate drugs to select a few for laboratory evaluation. In a few weeks, we go from concept to candidates, substantially reducing the cost and time required to design new medicines.
