Trial Cerella™ AI on your drug discovery projects and data
Guide your Projects with Proven AI Drug Discovery
Cerella™ uses a unique deep learning approach to overcome limitations in drug discovery data, reducing costs and accelerating drug discovery cycles. Cerella highlights high-quality compounds with confidence, finding hidden opportunities caused by missing, uncertain or inaccurate data and prioritises the most valuable experiments.
AI-Guided Drug Discovery
Reducing the time and cost of your discovery cycles
Cerella can:
Proactively highlight high-quality compounds by ‘filling in’ sparse data
Increase confidence in decision making, identify hidden opportunities, flag outliers and false negatives
Help you translate artificial intelligence insights into the planning of experiments to focus on the most valuable measurements
Enable you to gain more value from your compound data, accurately predicting complex endpoints, intractable with conventional QSAR modeling
Add value at any scale, from individual project datasets to global compound data repositories

Proven Technology
Cerella uses a unique, peer-reviewed deep learning method, with demonstrated successes in drug discovery.
Cerella™ is powered by Alchemite™, a deep learning method developed by Optibrium’s technology partner Intellegens Limited. In collaboration with pharmaceutical and biotechnology partners, Optibrium has rigorously demonstrated Alchemite’s unique benefits over conventional modelling methods in peer-reviewed studies, resulting in reductions in cost and time of discovery cycles. Cerella™ has proven its benefits in several collaborations with pharma and biotech organisations, working with individual project-level datasets up to global compound data repository level investigations.
