Schrödinger announces strategic collaboration and software agreement with Bristol Myers Squibb to deploy AI co-scientist Bunsen. Aug. 5, 2026 Press Contacts Jaren Madden Matthew Luchini Theresa Masnik NEW YORK - Schrödinger, Inc. (Nasdaq: SDGR) today announced a strategic agreement with Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) to deploy Bunsen, Schrödinger's agentic AI co-scientist, within its research organization. Building on a long-standing partnership with BMS where they routinely utilize Schrödinger's industry-leading computational platform, the new agreement significantly expands the application of Schrödinger's platform, empowering BMS scientists to explore more scientific possibilities, prioritize molecules with greater confidence, and accelerate discovery decisions. Under the agreement, Schrödinger will collaborate with BMS scientists on developing novel functionality within Bunsen in conjunction with its computational technologies designed to enable large-scale chemical exploration as well as with RetroSynth, its AI-driven synthesis planning platform. Unlike general-purpose agents, Bunsen is optimized to execute Schrödinger's validated, physics-based computational platform by planning and running complex molecular discovery workflows and interpreting the results. "BMS is a long-standing customer and collaborator, and they have been an industry leader in integrating computation into drug discovery. We are thrilled they are deploying Bunsen at a large scale," said Robert Abel, Chief Scientific Officer, Platform, of Schrödinger. "Adopting Bunsen and our computational platform at scale will empower a broader group of scientists to embrace a predict-first computational approach." "Over the past several years, AI has become a key enabler for our scientists, allowing them to scale their creativity and scientific expertise across our research organization," said Stephen Johnson, Vice President, Computational Sciences, Bristol Myers Squibb. "Bunsen is another capability we are adding to that toolkit, one that allows our scientists to think differently about how physics-based tools can be used to navigate molecular design space and accelerate the discovery of innovative medicines for patients." About Bunsen Bunsen is Schrödinger's agentic AI co-scientist, built specifically for molecular discovery. Optimized to execute Schrödinger's validated computational methods, Bunsen helps researchers understand scientific objectives, plan computational strategies, execute sophisticated discovery workflows, and interpret results. By combining AI with physics-based simulation, Bunsen makes advanced computational methods more accessible and enables research teams to evaluate more hypotheses, systematically explore broader chemical space, and make higher-confidence decisions prior to experimental testing.

About Retrosynth RetroSynth is Schrödinger's AI-driven synthesis planning platform designed to rapidly evaluate synthetic feasibility and optimize route selection. RetroSynth integrates real-time intelligence across billions of building blocks to predict plausible, bench-ready synthetic pathways. By coupling automated retrosynthetic analysis with molecular design, RetroSynth enables high-throughput evaluation of large chemical spaces, helping ensure computationally prioritized molecules can be efficiently synthesized in the laboratory.

Schrödinger has launched Bunsen, an agentic AI co-scientist designed to accelerate molecular discovery. Unlike general-purpose AI systems, Bunsen executes Schrödinger's validated computational methods and leverages the company's physics-based molecular discovery expertise. The platform helps researchers understand scientific objectives, develop computational strategies, execute molecular discovery workflows and interpret results. This enables computational chemists to run concurrent research sessions whilst making advanced methods accessible to drug hunters without computational chemistry backgrounds. Schrödinger is collaborating with NVIDIA and Google Cloud to provide a co-engineered AI platform for early Bunsen customers. The integration includes Google Cloud's elastic computing infrastructure and NVIDIA BioNeMo Agent Toolkit with RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs. The early access version is now available to select customers, with full commercial release expected by the end of 2026.
