Impact on Drug Discovery & Synthetic Biology

Drug Discovery Synthetic Biology Impact

The $1.7 Trillion Opportunity

The global pharmaceutical market is massive—but drug development remains slow and expensive. Dynamic modelling changes the game.

🔍

Cryptic Pockets

Reveal binding sites only visible in transient states

🧬

Resistance

Model how mutations affect drug binding dynamics

💊

Biologics

Engineer antibodies with specific binding properties

Binding Site Refinement
