Drug discovery is a bet. We improve the odds.

Qnite Labs uses AI to take risk out of the earliest decisions, where much of it is set.

The odds

9 in 10

drugs that enter human trials never reach patients.1 About half fail because the drug doesn’t work,2 a risk set long before the clinic.

How we improve them

Three questions, answered before the money is spent.

  1. Is the biology right?
  2. Is it safe and druggable?
  3. Is the molecule good enough?

Qortex

Qortex is our approach: Qs within Qs.

Every big question breaks into smaller ones, each handled by its own Q, which can break it down again. Answers flow back up and are checked at every level.

Well-tested answers, in less time.

Why it can work

Precision and speed, from three things the evidence already shows.

  1. 4% → 19%

    Rigour pays

    When AstraZeneca made its target and molecule checks stricter, success from candidate to the end of Phase III rose almost fivefold.3 Done by hand, that rigour is slow and costly. Qortex runs it on every decision.

  2. R 0.01

    No model is right everywhere

    On one enzyme, a leading open AI model was no better than chance until it was retrained on project data.4 Qortex checks each answer across several models, flags where they disagree, and swaps in better ones as they arrive.

  3. ~13 months

    Speed is proven

    AI-led teams have reached a drug candidate in about 13 months with around 70 molecules.5 The industry average is about 4.5 years.6

The honest part

It is still a bet, for us too.
