About Deep Origin

Building the future of drug discovery

We're a team of scientists, ML researchers, engineers, and dreamers working to transform how medicines are discovered and developed.

Our Mission

Simulate life so we can build drugs faster

Led by Michael Antonov, a co-founder of Oculus, and well-funded by Formic Ventures, Deep Origin is poised to reinvent the way scientists work and life science innovations come to life.

We see a future largely free of diseases, with a 150-year lifespan being a norm. To get there, we are building an operating system for science, enabling scientists to be more productive and to bring tomorrow's ideas to life quickly and at a reasonable cost.
