The decision engine
for drug discovery

Your scientists decide. Dalton makes each decision better than the last.

WHY IT MATTERS
~20,000
active discovery programmes
$50–100Bn
a year on experimentation

And most of what each programme learns never reaches the next.

The advantage isn’t a better model. It’s better judgement.

Drug discovery is driven by decisions, not predictions. Dalton keeps every model, decision and experiment, the dead ends included, in one place with its full context. Your scientists set direction, agents do the computational work, and every experiment strengthens the system and informs the next decision. What worked, what failed and why stays with your team, so the next programme starts where the last one finished.

HOW IT WORKS

Discovery cycles that learn.

Dalton reads your project data, compound registration, ELN, even your reports and documents. Its agents design and prioritise the next molecules. Your labs or your CRO partners make and test, the results flow straight back. Design, make, test, learn, orchestrated end to end, with each round sharper than the last.

THE STACK

Agentic AI. Knowledge. Tools.

Seven layers. The tools do the computational work. Context & knowledge makes the system yours. Agentic AI runs the loop across all of it, and the digital twin shows what that was worth.

Hundreds of tools at the base, all of it inside your own isolated tenant. The layers above are what create lasting value and deliver real impact.

DIGITAL TWIN

What would Dalton have done with your campaign?

The twin replays your real campaign on its real timeline and asks how a different decision policy would have done. Same molecules, same measured data. Measured, not asserted.

Pre-registered. The objective is written before the outcome is seen, and the replay clock is measurement time — so the twin can’t cheat.
CAPABILITIES

Purpose-built for every modality.

The same platform underneath. On top, the science each modality actually needs.

Low-data property prediction

Affinity, selectivity, ADMET and physchem from as few as 5–20 compounds, the regime of early discovery. No retraining per task, so cycles stay fast.

Generative design that reasons

LLM-driven generation that works the way a medicinal chemist does, weighing physchem, scaffold and synthetic constraints to propose novel, makeable molecules.

Physics where it counts

Docking, free-energy and quantum-mechanical methods, run as durable workflows and applied when needed, where cheaper scoring cannot decide.

Active learning

Experimental effort focused on the compounds that will teach you the most, so each round of synthesis generates the maximum information.

Repertoire-scale ingestion

Public and internal sequence sources, including the full Observed Antibody Space, annotated and clustered so the patterns across your library surface.

Structure prediction & generation

Structure prediction, inverse folding and protein language models that generate and optimise sequences, fine-tuned from as few as 20 examples.

Binding prioritisation

Physics and machine-learning scoring combined to rank candidates on affinity, developability and structural fit, with active learning cutting the compute to a fraction of brute force.

Hit diversification

Sequence-diverse antibodies that keep the same epitope binding mode, spreading immunogenicity risk and widening IP coverage.

INGESTION

Agents propose. Your scientists approve.

Agents read every file you upload. Nothing becomes project truth until a person releases it.

OWNERSHIP

Discovery knowledge
you own.

Dalton runs in your own isolated tenant, behind your own single sign-on. Your data trains only your models, and the judgement it builds stays with you, not the vendor.
