Schrödinger, Inc.
Schrödinger, Inc. is an international scientific software and biotechnology company that specializes in developing computational tools and software for drug discovery and materials science.
Schrödinger's software is used by pharmaceutical companies, biotech, tech, chemicals, energy, aerospace firms, and academic researchers to simulate and model the behavior of molecules at the atomic level. This accelerates the design and develops new drugs and materials more efficiently, reducing the time and cost of bringing them to market.
The Schrödinger software team is recognized for offering outstanding customer service, providing Science and Technology Support both before and after purchase, along with advanced assistance from their highly knowledgeable Application Scientists—something that many other modeling software packages do not offer.
Schrödinger's software tools include molecular dynamics simulations, free energy calculations, quantum mechanics calculations, and virtual screening tools. The company also offers consulting services and collaborates with partners in the industry to advance the field of computational chemistry and drug discovery.
Products and services
Schrödinger's computational platforms evaluate compounds in silico, with experimental accuracy on properties such as binding affinity and solubility. The company's products include molecular modeling programs in life science, and Materials Science.,and an Enterprise Informatics Platform named LiveDesign, which is intended to facilitate communication among interdisciplinary research teams.Life Science Applications

Partners
Schrödinger's partners include pharmaceutical companies, including Bayer, Takeda, heavy industries, including Boeing, Sabic, and more.Nimbus Therapeutics, co-founded by Schrödinger, uses Schrödinger's drug screening and design platform for drug discovery. In 2016, Nimbus Therapeutics sold an Acetyl-CoA carboxylase inhibitor designed by Schrödinger to Gilead Sciences in a deal worth up to $1.2 billion. As of spring 2019 the ACC inhibitor was moving through late-stage clinical trials in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.
