Isomorphic Labs Limited[1] is a London-based company which uses artificial intelligence for drug discovery.[2][3][4] Isomorphic Labs was founded by Demis Hassabis, who also serves the CEO.[5][3] The company was incorporated on February 4, 2021 and announced on November 5, 2021.[2][6] It was established under Alphabet Inc. as a spin-off from its AI research lab DeepMind, of which Hassabis is also founder and CEO.[2][3][6]
The company draws upon DeepMind's AlphaFold technology, which can be used to predict protein structures in the human body with high accuracy, allowing its researchers to find new target pathways for drug delivery.[6][7]
In December 2022, Isomorphic Labs announced its second office location in Lausanne, Switzerland.[6][8]
In January 2024, Isomorphic Labs partnered with Novartis AG and Eli Lilly & Company to work together on AI drug discovery and research.[9]
In May 2024, Google DeepMind and Isomorphic Labs announced the release of AlphaFold 3, freely available on the AlphaFold server for non-commercial research. AlphaFold 3 is not limited to predicting how proteins fold, it can also predict the interactions with molecules typically found in drugs such as ligands or antibodies, which is expected to significantly accelerate drug discovery.[10]
