DeepMatter extends licensing and collaboration agreement with Standigm
DeepMatter Group Plc (AIM: DMTR, "Deepmatter", "the Group"), the digital chemistry data and software company, has signed a second multi-year licensing and collaboration agreement with Standigm Inc. ("Standigm"), a leading workflow artificial intelligence (AI) drug discovery company, based in South Korea with an increasing international footprint.
The second agreement is expected to generate revenues for DeepMatter of £280,000. DeepMatter's first licensing agreement with Standigm was announced on 1 March 2022.
Following the successful deployment of DeepMatter's unique data and laboratory integration platform earlier this year, the agreement includes licensing for DeepMatter's proprietary chemical structure and reaction data and machine-learning Retrosynthesis Software. DeepMatter and Standigm will collaborate to develop further AI-driven drug discovery capabilities, drawing upon the Group's deep digital chemistry expertise.
Jinhan Kim, co-founder and CEO of Standigm:
"As a front-runner in AI drug discovery industry, we have constantly adopted new approaches and technologies without hesitation, to make AI standard in the pharmaceutical industry. In the same vein, we took an early lead in digitalisation of chemistry, which will dramatically reduce the labour needed to make new compounds and broaden accessible chemical space.
"We are delighted to be continuing our long-term relationship with DeepMatter, uniquely strengthening Standigm's workflow artificial intelligence (AI) drug discovery capability with their digital chemistry platforms."
Mark Warne, CEO of DeepMatter, commented:
"This second agreement with Standigm this year demonstrates our unique portfolio capabilities and also deepens the collaboration between our two businesses."
Hanjo Kim, SVP of Global Strategy, Standigm commented:
"We believe that this systemic innovation in chemistry from adopting DeepMatter's platforms will facilitate Standigm's drug discovery research, by stimulating ideas for alternative or novel synthetic routes that otherwise may not be considered. DeepMatter's capabilities are now an essential component of this offering."
