XtalPi and Pfizer Expand Partnership to Advance AI Drug Discovery

To improve its AI-driven drug discovery and materials science simulations, XtalPi, an AI-powered medication R&D business, has extended its strategic partnership with Pfizer.The platform will be developed to assist Pfizer scientists in a variety of drug design and development situations, with the objectives of increased accuracy, high-throughput speed, and an intuitive user interface.

The collaboration intends to create a next-generation molecular modeling platform that optimizes small molecule drug discovery and development by boosting the precision of physics-based techniques with digitial technologies and  AI models. In order to further empower small molecule drug discovery for the drug market and development across a wider range of research applications, the two teams will concentrate on creating more precise predictive models to Pfizer's unique chemical space as part of this expansion of their relationship. As part of the partnership, XtalPi will make its XFEP platform available to Pfizer for use in its drug discovery initiatives, including parameter modification and FEP computations.
