Our Mission
Acellera’s mission is to accelerate the transition to rational, computerized drug discovery via simulations and machine learning.
In order to fulfill this vision, we work with our customers by becoming a key technology partner, boosting their discovery workflow with the most innovative solutions. Science, research, innovation and development are the core values of our company.
Our Background
Acellera is devoted to bringing state-of-the-art technologies to drug discovery. Founded in 2006, we were one of the first companies worldwide to leverage the use of novel accelerator processor technology (GPU) for molecular dynamics.
We developed the first online platform for drug design based on deep learning and are now leading the introduction of machine learning techniques into the drug discovery pipeline.
