We imagine a world where new medicines reach patients in months, not years, and where scientific breakthroughs happen at the speed of thought.
Mithrl is building the world’s first commercially available AI Co-Scientist. It is a discovery engine that transforms messy biological data into insights in minutes. Scientists ask questions in natural language, and Mithrl responds with real analysis, novel targets, hypotheses, and patent-ready reports.
12X year-over-year revenue growth

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.
AI Lab Researching How to Accelerate Discovery Science.
The scientific decision engine for R&D. Raw data → defensible decisions, faster. Pharma and biotech R&D often spend weeks, or even months, learning, coding, and troubleshooting discovery analysis pipelines. This slows research and diverts focus from the work that truly matters: discovery. Mithrl changes that. Using only natural language from the user, Mithrl AI builds custom workflows with full transparency and reproducibility for discovery data (omics and beyond), on-demand and in minutes, not weeks. Discovery researchers across therapeutic areas can instantly align, analyze, interpret, integrate, and iterate hypotheses for complex datasets without manual coding or repetitive setup. By automating these time-consuming processes, Mithrl empowers scientists to spend more time designing experiments, testing insights, and driving high-quality discoveries, including novel IP. From accelerating data analysis to uncovering novel targets and biomarkers, Mithrl is the Scientific Decision Engine that turns data into actionable breakthroughs. See Mithrl in action.
