Warp Sciences
Also known as Warp
A US chemistry contract research organisation that makes the molecules drug-discovery teams order, starting with variations of a lead compound for lead optimisation. Chemists guide the work while the company automates more of it with AI and robotics and trains models on the data its experiments produce. It says it has no drug pipeline of its own.
