Angstrom AI

About

Ångström AI is a Cambridge University spin-out founded in 2024 by Javier Antoran, Jose Miguel Hernandez Lobato, and Laurence Midgley, building GenAI-based molecular simulations to substitute wet lab experiments in pre-clinical drug development. The team consists of 2 PhDs and 2 Professors from the University of Cambridge who combined breakthroughs in quantum-accurate models of physics and generative AI models. Ångström AI's innovation centers on the MACE (multi-atomic cluster expansion) physics model developed by Gabor Csanyi. Biotech and pharma clients verify efficacy and safety of new drug candidates using computer simulations that match wet lab experiment accuracy but are over 100x faster. The company is backed by Y Combinator and based in San Francisco, California, with 5 employees. Ångström AI represents the first company to develop physically accurate gen-AI based simulation of multiple molecules interacting. 2025 Developments: The company continues to enhance its quantum software platform and developer tools in 2025. Focus remains on improving algorithm efficiency and expanding use case applications. Active engagement with the quantum developer community drives product evolution.
