Simulations Plus sells a rehearsal for the human body
Before a drug meets a patient, it can meet a mathematical body. Simulations Plus has spent three decades selling that rehearsal - and learning that a business is harder to model than a molecule.
Revvity Signals wants science to stop losing the plot
ChemDraw taught chemists to draw on a computer. Its owner now wants experiments, collaborators and AI models to speak the same language - and the most revealing case begins with a hunt for old lab notes.
Lhasa Limited gets drug rivals to share their safety secrets
The Leeds software charity turns chemical knowledge into tools for spotting hazards. Its unusual advantage is persuading competing companies to learn from one another’s experiments.
Paul Davie Has Spent Four Decades Selling the Future of Chemistry
He began when molecular modeling was a specialist trade, took one revealing detour into database security, and returned to help make digital chemistry a global business.
MetaCell
MetaCell is a life-science software company staffed by scientists and software engineers who turn messy neuroscience and biology data - microscopy, MRI, EEG, electrophysiology, biologically accurate simulations - into usable, shareable, enterprise-grade online tools. Founded by the trio behind the OpenWorm project, MetaCell builds custom scientific software, cloud workspaces, and data pipelines for pharma companies and top research institutions including Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Biogen, Eisai, the Allen Institute, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, and universities like Princeton, Yale, and UCL.
Soheil Saadat
Soheil Saadat is the founder and CEO of GenieMD, a global virtual care platform that bundles telehealth, remote patient monitoring, remote therapeutic monitoring and chronic care management into one modular, AI-assisted system. A Stanford-trained electrical engineer with a Ph.D., he is a four-time founder whose previous companies were acquired by Hewlett-Packard, Agilent Technologies and Microsoft before he turned his attention from enterprise software to healthcare. His pitch is blunt: most virtual care wastes everyone's time, and a smarter system can let a doctor resolve a visit in under two minutes. GenieMD won Frost & Sullivan's 2024 Company of the Year award for virtual chronic disease management.
Quartzy
Quartzy is the lab management platform used by research scientists to track inventory, manage orders, and buy supplies from a marketplace of more than 1,000 suppliers - all in one place. Founded in 2011 by two Columbia PhD students who got tired of the paperwork eating their bench time.
