ChemLex combines two things many people are afraid of: AI and chemistry.
What exactly do they do?
The pharmaceutical industry has a timing problem. Discovering new molecules often takes years because chemists have to test step by step in the lab.
ChemLex flips this model: an autonomous robotics lab tests around the clock → the AI learns in real time → the entire process accelerates dramatically.
To keep building exactly that, ChemLex has now raised 45 million USD for:
more engineers and chemists
building a second fully automated lab based on the Shanghai site
scaling up the AI platform for pharma and materials science
Watch:
The market for AI-based drug discovery is exploding: from 3.6 billion USD in 2024 to 50 billion USD in 2034.
