The new venture will leverage the precision molecular design platforms developed by Schrödinger.
Schrödinger, a privately-held company revolutionizing drug discovery through advanced computational methods and enterprise software solutions, and WuXi AppTec, a leading pharmaceutical and medical device R&D enabling platform company, have formed Faxian Therapeutics. The new venture will leverage the precision molecular design platforms developed by Schrödinger and accelerate them through partnership with the world-class lead optimization services provided by WuXi AppTec.
Headquartered in New York City, Faxian Therapeutics will identify opportunities where new insights into the chemistry and biology of a particular target and indication can be derived using the Schrödinger computational platform, and then uniquely enabled by integration into a rapid design-synthesize-test cycle implemented at WuXi AppTec.
