What Recursion Pharmaceuticals does

Uses AI and automated biology experiments to discover and develop new drugs across multiple disease areas.

Pays for research mainly from investor capital and from partners such as Roche and Sanofi, who make upfront and milestone payments tied to drug programs reaching defined stages; no product is on sale. It combined with Exscientia in 2024 to add chemistry design to its biology data.
