Schrödinger Expands Agreement with Google Cloud to Further Bolster Its Drug Discovery and Materials Science Initiatives
This expanded partnership will provide Schrödinger with hundreds of millions of graphics processing unit (GPU) hours, effectively tripling Schrödinger’s previous throughput, and pushing the capacity to the equivalent of the world’s most powerful supercomputers. Schrödinger aims to further accelerate drug discovery and materials design through the application of its large-scale physics-based and machine learning methods.
“This is a pivotal moment for Schrödinger as we seek to strengthen our leadership position in physics-based approaches to molecular modeling. Our initial work last year with Google Cloud demonstrated our ability to apply large-scale computation to significantly accelerate drug discovery programs,” stated
“We are thrilled to provide best-in-class resources to enable research and the development of life-saving drugs by life science organizations to rapidly advance the next generation of therapies that will transform the lives of patients and their families,” said

About Schrödinger
Schrödinger is transforming the way therapeutics and materials are discovered. Schrödinger has pioneered a physics-based software platform that enables discovery of high-quality, novel molecules for drug development and materials applications more rapidly and at lower cost compared to traditional methods. The software platform is used by biopharmaceutical and industrial companies, academic institutions, and government laboratories around the world. Schrödinger’s multidisciplinary drug discovery team also leverages its software platform to advance collaborative programs and its own pipeline of novel therapeutics to address unmet medical needs.
Founded in 1990, Schrödinger has over 450 employees and is engaged with customers and collaborators in more than 70 countries. To learn more, visit www.schrodinger.com and follow us on LinkedIn and Twitter.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 including, but not limited to, our expectations about the speed and capacity of our computational platform, and the potential of our platform to enable the discovery of high-quality, novel molecules for drug development and materials applications. Statements including words such as "anticipate," "believe," "contemplate," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "look forward," "may," "might," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "should," "target," "will," "would" and statements in the future tense are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views about our plans, intentions, expectations, strategies and prospects, which are based on the information currently available to us and on assumptions we have made. Actual results may differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements and are subject to a variety of assumptions, uncertainties, risks and factors that are beyond our control, including our reliance upon third-party providers of cloud-based infrastructure to host our software solutions, our reliance upon our third-party drug discovery collaborators, as well as the other risks and uncertainties identified under the caption "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in our
