Cypher AI for Drug Discovery

Run hit-to-lead campaigns with structured assay data, AI-assisted analysis, and full lineage from compound to result.

Drug discovery teams move fast across hundreds of compounds, dozens of assays, and multiple CROs — but the data lives in spreadsheets, ad-hoc scripts, and disconnected ELNs. By the time you have a clean dose-response curve or a SAR analysis ready to share, the next round of compounds is already in the queue. Cypher AI gives discovery teams a single connected system for compounds, assays, results, and analysis — so the science stays in front of the data wrangling, not the other way around.

How Cypher AI helps drug discovery teams

One connected platform for the work you do today and the data you generate tomorrow.

Compound and assay tracking, end-to-end

Track every compound, plate, well, and replicate with built-in LIMS. Auto-generated barcodes, full lineage from synthesis to assay readout, and audit-ready records for every change. No more chasing spreadsheets between teams.

AI-assisted dose-response and SAR analysis

Describe what you want — "fit a 4-parameter logistic to this plate and flag outliers" — and Cypher's AI agent generates the analysis, runs it on your real data, and produces publication-quality figures. The analysis becomes a reusable widget your whole team can run.

Protocol management with version control

Build, version, and share assay protocols with materials, equipment, timers, and embedded calculations. Every run is traceable to the exact protocol version that produced it.

CRO and external-lab orchestration

Submit synthesis, screening, or ADME orders directly to vetted CROs through the Cypher marketplace. Order data, sample metadata, and turnaround tracking all live in one place.

Data pipelines for HTS and instrument output

Ingest plate readers, mass spec, and HTS instrument output through Git-backed pipelines that you can rerun and audit. Connect outputs back to the originating assay request automatically.

A typical workflow inside Cypher

1

Plan the campaign

A medicinal chemist describes "design a 96-compound screen against KRAS-G12D" in chat. Cypher generates the plate map, registers the compound list, and creates the assay protocol in the LIMS.

2

Run and capture data

The assay is executed; raw plate-reader data is uploaded. A pipeline auto-processes the readings, links them to the originating samples, and stages the dose-response data.

3

Analyze and decide

The team asks Cypher to fit dose-response curves, rank hits by IC50, and overlay the SAR by scaffold. The resulting widget is reusable for the next plate — no rewriting code.

4

Hand off to the next round

Top hits are flagged, an order is submitted to a synthesis CRO through the marketplace, and the next plate is auto-staged. Lineage from compound to result is preserved through every step.
