From target to ranked candidates in 2–4 weeks.

HelixForge replaces $2–5M screening campaigns with a quantum optimized AI pipeline that surfaces your best 50–100 molecules before a single assay runs.

The Problem

Traditional screening is slow, expensive, and 90% of candidates fail anyway.

$2–5M per campaign

High-throughput wet-lab screening of millions of compounds requires massive capital and infrastructure.

6–12 months lost

Lengthy validation cycles delay every downstream decision and push programs past funding milestones.

~10% hit rate

Most candidates fail in vitro. Brute-force screening tests far more compounds than necessary.

The Solution

An end-to-end AI pipeline that ranks your candidates before any wet-lab work begins.

  1. 01

    Upload your target

    Provide a protein structure (PDB), genetic objective, or sequence brief.

  2. 02

    AI pipeline runs

    Graph neural networks, molecular docking, MD simulations, and protein language models.

  3. 03

    Ranked candidates delivered

    Top 50–500 molecules with predicted efficacy, ADME, and validation playbook.

Design choices

Built for decisions, not dashboards.

Every architectural choice in HelixForge serves one goal: get your team to the right wet-lab experiments faster.

01
Rank before you screen

Most vendors optimize for throughput. HelixForge optimizes for decision quality: surfacing the 50 to 100 molecules worth testing, not millions of maybes.

02
Validation-calibrated scoring

Predictions are recalibrated against in vitro outcomes, not just public benchmark leaderboards.

03
Research rigor, commercial speed

Research-driven methods from Bajpai Labs, delivered on pharma timelines with full technical documentation.

04
Direct line to leadership

You work with the architects who built the pipeline, not a sales team relaying requirements to a black box.

Advanced features

The science behind the pipeline.

Published, peer-reviewed methods composed with proprietary scoring from Bajpai Labs.

Graph neural networks

Generative models for small-molecule and antibody libraries, trained on ChEMBL, PubChem, and proprietary validation sets.

Virtual docking & scoring

AutoDock Vina, DiffDock, and custom scoring functions for binding affinity and selectivity prediction.

Molecular dynamics

GROMACS and OpenMM simulations for binding free-energy refinement and conformational analysis.

Protein language models

ESM-2, ESMFold, and AlphaFold integration for structure prediction, function annotation, and variant ranking.

ADME & toxicity prediction

Multi-objective ranking across efficacy, permeability, metabolic stability, and developability metrics.

Sequence optimization

Codon optimization, off-target prediction, and manufacturability scoring for gene therapy payloads.

Methodology

Closed-Loop Optimization

Candidate generationSimulationRankingRetraining
Iterative active learning

Each cycle narrows the candidate space using simulation results, not a one-pass screen.

Wet-lab feedback integration

Experimental outcomes from your lab retrain the scoring models, tightening predictions over time.

Reducing false positives

Models like Insilico Medicine and Exscientia validate: iterative loops cut false positive rates cycle over cycle.

Why HelixForge

Research rigor. Commercial speed.

HelixForge combines research-driven engineering from Bajpai Labs with computational biology expertise that most pure-software vendors lack.

  • Research-driven delivery

    Published research, open-source tooling, and production accountability. Not benchmark demos.

  • AI + biosciences leadership

    Cross-disciplinary expertise spanning ML infrastructure, optimization, and applied biosciences.

  • Production accountability

    Ranked candidates with full technical documentation your team can take straight into validation.

  • Direct line to leadership

    You work with the architects who built the pipeline, not a sales team.

Discovery services

Four pipelines. One operating system.

From target discovery through candidate delivery, each service is built for a specific modality, sharing the same production-grade AI infrastructure and the same senior team.
