Schrödinger

We provide a physics-based computational platform and chemical simulation software. Our platform helps biopharmaceutical companies, industrial companies, academic institutions, and government laboratories worldwide with their research.

We use it to discover and optimize molecules for new drugs in life sciences and to design materials in materials science.

We also run our own drug discovery programs and collaborate with others in various therapeutic areas.

We offer educational resources, including online certification courses, free learning materials, and software for academic teaching. Since our founding in 1990, we have worked with customers and collaborators in over 70 countries.

Our mission is to improve human health and quality of life by changing how new drugs and materials are discovered.

Our core principles include leading in drug discovery and materials design through scientific and technological breakthroughs. We are committed to achieving the best results for our customers, partners, patients, and stakeholders. We value our employees by investing in their growth, development, and well-being, and we emphasize mutual support.

We foster a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace that values teamwork, collaboration, and open debate. We also uphold high ethical standards.
