Overview

Recursion uses hardware, software, and data to accelerate drug discovery in the TechBio space, running thousands of wet-lab experiments weekly to profile genes and compounds across many cell types. It combines a massive proprietary dataset (about 50 petabytes) with a powerful computing platform, BioHive 1, to map billions of gene–compound relationships and generate actionable drug candidates. Its approach blends high-throughput experimentation with large-scale data science to create learning loops and partnerships with pharmaceutical companies, research institutions, and healthcare providers. Its goal is to decode biology at scale and discover and commercialize medicines that can improve patient lives.
