Iktos

Iktos was founded in 2016 by Quentin Perron, Nicolas Do Huu, and Yann Gaston-Mathé, with the aim of developing an innovative and user-friendly technology platform for deep-learning based de novo drug design, leveraging a proprietary algorithm developed by Quentin and Nicolas who initially wanted to apply to chemistry the deep learning generative models previously used in fields such as image and natural language processing. Our objective is to make our technology accessible to everyone, and to be the first company to release a user-friendly and high-performance de novo design software for multi-parameter optimization, that can be used by any medicinal or computational chemist, whatever their level of expertise in deep learning and computer programming. Since 2017, our technology has been tested and validated in several projects run with a lot of pharmaceutical companies, on more than 35 differents projects.
