WHY APHERIS
We’re defining a category on problems pharma can’t solve alone.
AI in drug discovery is now constrained by data access. High-quality proprietary data is distributed across pharmaceutical companies, leaving no single organization with enough coverage to train generalizable models. Federated networks are becoming necessary infrastructure to access industrial drug discovery data for AI model training.
WHAT YOU’LL BUILD
Where you can make an impact
ML research & science
Federated training of structural biology, ADMET, and antibody developability foundation models. Fine-tuning on proprietary pharma data. Privacy attacks and defenses on molecular models. Federated benchmarking design.
Engineering
Build the product pharma’s most demanding IT and legal teams deploy inside their environments: Apheris Gateway, the Hub, ApherisFold, and the infrastructure that makes federated training work across AWS, on-prem, and airgapped sites.
Drug discovery applications
Translate federated models into products R&D teams use daily across co-folding, structure-based design, ADMET prediction, and antibody developability. Solutions engineering, AI program management, and scientific advisory.
Commercial & operations
Align network members, scientific plans, advisory boards, and multi-party governance across top pharma organizations, while driving partner success and operational excellence across people, finance, and talent.
