Molegro is a Danish company founded in 2005, developing novel high-quality drug discovery and data mining software.
Molegro was formed based on research done by René Thomsen, PhD, who introduced a class of genetic algorithms - differential evolution - to the field of molecular docking. By mimicking the natural selection process, it became possible to solve problems more efficient and accurate than previous methods.
Since then, our solutions have been extended to cover new methods and new application areas, such as small molecule alignment and molecular descriptors. We combine methods from computational chemistry with novel methods from the field of machine learning, such as neural networks and support vector machines.
We believe the graphical user interface plays a very important part in making computational drug design techniques usable. Being able to visually inspect compounds and their interactions in Molegro Virtual Docker, or to visualize the high-dimensional structure of a data set in Molegro Data Modeller is vital to obtaining an understanding of the problem at hand. Our software runs natively on Windows, Linux, and Mac. For high-throughput virtual screening, we provide a special GPU accelerated docking algorithm. Our software integrates with the KNIME workflow system and can be distributed to multiple machines using our Molegro Virtual Grid infrastructure.
Molegro was founded by René Thomsen, CEO, and Mikael Christensen, CTO, and is jointly owned by the company's founders, private investors, and Østjysk Innovation.
Our customers are both industry (small biotech and pharmaceutical companies) and academia (see our list of selected MVD publications). We participate in several research collaborations with frontier scientific researchers from universities and industry, to stay updated with the latest technology and science.
We are located in the city of Aarhus, Denmark. Our products are sold through an international network of distributors, covering four continents.
What does the name mean?
The name 'Molegro' is a combination of the words 'Molecule' and
'Allegro' (the musical term for quick or rapid tempo). The core of our business is
high-performance drug discovery solutions leading to a faster
drug-development process.
