[Elliot Hershberg @ElliotHershberg]

Biopharma is a strange business. Drug candidates routinely fail in clinical trials at a rate that would be unacceptable in most other industries. Why should we accept this as the norm? What if we could produce medicines in such a reliable way that their clinical success was unsurprising? Where should we be searching for new medicines in the first place?

These were some of the existential questions about drug discovery that @viswacolluru, the founder of @envedabio, asked himself while the idea for the company was still just a tiny seed in his mind. Over time, a combination of distinct experiences throughout Viswa’s life provided a rich and unique soil for this idea to germinate into something much more significant.

The core idea of Enveda is to revive the pharmaceutical industry’s focus on natural product discovery—the historical source of many of the world’s greatest medicines.

This week, I cover the company’s origins, evolution, and recent advances:

If you're trying to figure out what nature's chemistry looks like, you'll want to be able to predict the mass spectra of molecules.

Check out this blog on our work at @envedabio using graph neural networks to get better and more scalable predictions!

@olivia__ms On the left side, the Sanskrit word might be misspelt. I think it should be Bandhati (बन्धति)
Source: https://t.co/5JtWmb2g2Z but also am a native speaker of Hindi and the na sound should come before the dhh sound 🤔 (at least it does in Hindi)
