OUR TECHNOLOGY

Created to accelerate research and
discovery with explainable insights

With traditional AI, you get black-box predictions.
With Abzu's QLattice®, you get trustworthy explanations.

Diseasemechanismsmechanisms

Understand the basis of disease and identify novel points of intervention, even with small and complex data sets, overcoming today’s most considerable challenges in R+D.Determine the cause or causes of heterogeneous diseases with transparent models that reveal the contributions of genetic and environmental factors and hidden biological pathways.

Identifying multi-omics biomarkersWe identified two gene expressions as primary mortality indicators in breast cancer on a wide data set of only 705 women.

CASE STUDY

Targetidentificationidentification

Elevate your understanding of underlying biological mechanisms with our high-precision and explainable models, increasing the identification of potential targets for new drug development.Explore all available evidence and discover non-trivial relationships in your data to design optimized, multi-pronged genomic medicines, small molecules, and more.

Designing drugs with explainable AIWe collaborated with an undisclosed nucleic acid therapeutics company to develop drugs for rare and complex diseases.

Drugdevelopmentdevelopment

Improve the hit rate for effective treatments with simple models that predict the activity of small molecules and therapeutics and explain what drives desirable and undesirable drug properties.Accelerate preclinical drug discovery by enhancing basic research of disease components and druggable targets with intelligent and explainable predictions.

Accelerating R+D and reducing riskWe helped an undisclosed top 10 pharma company understand the key components to safe and efficacious compounds.

Biomarkerdiscoverydiscovery

Enhance biomarker candidate discovery and qualification by finding consistent associations between markers and diseases and explain treatment responses with predictive power and clarity.Untangle the complexity between molecular and clinical causal drivers and plainly explain relationships to researchers, clinicians, and patients.

Abzu’s origin story

In 2018, seven founders from Denmark, Italy, and Spain combined their knowledge in high-performance computing, AI, and systems-level software engineering to bring a bold idea to life.

Our technology: The QLattice

We created a new class of artificial intelligence to accelerate research: An AI that carefully reveals the simplest explanation from vast amounts of observational data.

Raising for Series A

The technical challenge of building the QLattice is solved. Now we are raising a round of funding to help accelerate the development of a new custom-made tool built on the engine of the QLattice.

Leading the next scientific revolution

Today, Abzu is working to provide researchers with a brand new, immersive scientific workflow that augments the human mind. We call it: Abzu Reason™.

Self-organized and self-managed

We don’t have any bosses. Abzoids determine their own salaries and schedules and make decisions about their work priorities. This requires transparency and trust, which is an integral part of our technology and who we are.

About Abzu: We're a bunch of nice nerds building
something new and awesome.
