Design and maintain cloud-based platforms for drug discovery, integrate AI/ML, mentor engineers, and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams.
Company Overview
1910 Genetics is a Series A stage biotechnology company that is pioneering a novel Input-Transform-Output (ITO™) platform as the first ever horizontal AI infrastructure for drug discovery.
In a crowded space with hundreds of AI drug discovery companies, 1910’s ITO™ platform is differentiated by:
- Modality agnostic drug discovery: our platform is capable of designing both small molecule and large molecule therapeutics across all disease areas, with an initial focus on neuroscience, oncology, and autoimmune diseases.
- Proprietary massive multimodal data, which overcomes the data scarcity problem that prevents frontier AI models from being utilized for drug discovery.
- Multi-AI agent systems that include a robust collection of frontier AI/ML models, each of which works in a task-oriented manner to achieve the multi-parameter optimization problem of drug discovery and development.
- A state-of-the-art (SOTA) fully-automated, high throughput wet laboratory in the premier Boston Seaport District for both data generation for AI model training as well as validation of the safety and efficacy of drug candidates that are outputted by our frontier AI models.
- An unprecedented partnership with Microsoft, which positions 1910 as the only biotech/pharma company leveraging Azure Quantum Elements, a groundbreaking, AI-driven, high performance computing (HPC) cloud architecture for advanced AI.
- Bespoke conversational AI chatbots that provide a customer friendly UI/UX to access our platform for specific drug discovery tasks.
- Being the only biotech company helping pharma companies integrate 6 core areas of AI infrastructure.
