Nature has yielded a large share of past blockbuster drug successes such as Aspirin and Metformin, but has suffered diminishing returns due in part to our inability to understand its chemical make-up Enveda uses novel machine learning techniques such as large language models, metabolomics, and robotics to index nature's chemical space and annotate its function for new drug discovery Enveda's platform is multi-layered and IP-protected, generating a compounding, proprietary dataset, and is attracting significant interest from pharma and biotech partners Enveda fits squarely into our emerging life sciences strategy expanding our healthcare portfolio into accessing the current technology revolution in the pharma industry Enveda's Search Engine New Drugs in a Dark Chemical Space I want an @inflammasome inhibitor that is not @cytotoxic that is available in the @brain that has a @mass between 200-600.
