Persist AI accelerates drug formulation discovery by integrating an AI platform with high-throughput robotics in a cloud lab environment. This system allows scientists to design experiments remotely, which are then executed automatically to rapidly screen and predict formulations matching a target product profile. The company supports the entire process from initial discovery through to commercial cGMP manufacturing and analytical testing.

Problem
Traditional drug formulation discovery for extended-release PLG drugs is a time-consuming and expensive process, often taking years and requiring extensive manual experimentation. This lengthy process delays the availability of new medications and increases development costs for pharmaceutical companies and CROs.
Solution
Persist AI offers an automation and machine learning platform that accelerates formulation discovery by integrating high-throughput robotic labs with AI-driven predictions. The platform enables rapid screening of thousands of formulations in parallel, using online analytical tests and onboard sensors to gather comprehensive data. This data is then fed into proprietary AI algorithms that predict optimal formulations and generate protocols for the robotic lab, significantly reducing the time and cost associated with traditional methods. The platform supports both solid and liquid formulations, offering a complete solution for formulation development.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes drug manufacturers and contract research organizations (CROs) involved in the development of extended-release PLG drug formulations.
