Valence Labs

Valence Labs, formerly Valence Discovery, is a company harnessing computation to radically improve lives. With roots at Mila and mentorship from Yoshua Bengio, the company is dedicated to advancing deep learning in drug discovery, delivering impactful research and transformative technology, and embracing open-source and open-science knowledge shari... ng with the machine learning community. Having bested industry giants in machine learning competitions and after gaining a deeper understanding of drug discovery intricacies, they teamed up with Recursion to combine Valence's models with Recursion's fit-for-purpose datasets to make better predictions and choose better experiments with a lower failure rate, at greater speed, and at a lesser cost. Combining the intellectual freedom of academia with the resources and stability of industry, Valence Labs takes a long-term view on technology development: acting boldly, leaning into risks, embracing failure, and ultimately trading incremental improvements for the breakthrough advances they hope will redefine the field.Read More
