Formation Bio primarily serves pharmaceutical and biotech companies that want to streamline their drug development efforts. By utilizing advanced AI tools, the company enhances the selection and development of drugs, aiming to improve efficiency and ultimately generate revenue through successful drug launches and partnerships.
