Unlocking the First Neuroscience Target for the Recursion and Genentech Collaboration

Decoding biology to radically improve lives

Recursion was founded more than a decade ago on the idea that we could take images of cells and use these images to train artificial intelligence to understand the vast unknown biological space – the cellular disruptions driving disease – to use AI-drug discovery to reduce the massive 90% failure rate of traditional drug discovery.

Our mission

Better medicines, through novel insights and precision design

We’re using data and AI to bring better medicines to patients, faster.



The Recursion OS drug discovery and development platform has yielded an advanced pipeline of potential first-in-class and best-in-class treatments for conditions with high unmet need including aggressive cancers and rare diseases. Today, we’ve demonstrated significant improvements in speed, efficiency, and reduced costs from hit identification to IND-enabling studies compared to traditional pharmaceutical company averages.

Inside the loop: Learn how we map disease biology and design potential medicines, and carry them into the clinic — at scale

Take a look inside the automated labs that form our AI-native data factory to see our end-to-end drug discovery and development engine work as one connected system. Driven by bilingual teams of scientists and technologists, our wet and dry "lab-in-the-loop," forms a continuous learning system of physical automation and machine learning models. See how we run up to 2 million weekly experiments to build a 50+ petabyte proprietary dataset, tightly connecting biology, generative de novo chemistry, and translational clinical tools to systematically de-risk drug discovery.
