Recently, CRYSTAL Pharmatech and Divamics Inc. announced a strategic partnership. By integrating AI-driven new drug molecular design with globally leading crystal form formulation development technology, the two companies will provide pharmaceutical enterprises worldwide with an end-to-end solution from molecule discovery to clinical supply, accelerating the efficient development and commercialization of innovative drugs.


Against the backdrop of high costs and long cycles in innovative drug development, Divamics and CRYSTAL Pharmatech are leveraging cutting-edge technologies to focus on key aspects of the drug discovery process:


  • Divamics: Relying onArtificial Intelligence (AI), Quantum Chemistry Computing, and Molecular Dynamics Simulation Patent TechnologyFocused on the efficient design and optimization of new drug molecules. Its computational chemistry platform can rapidly generate active and drug-like molecular structures, significantly shortening the traditional drug discovery cycle and reducing early R&D trial-and-error costs. Applicable fields include small molecules, peptides, antibodies, PROTACs, enzymes, etc. Currently, two collaborative pipelines have successfully advanced to Phase III clinical trials.


  • CRYSTAL Pharmatech: CRYSTAL Pharmatech focuses on providingOptimal Crystal Form and Formulation SolutionsBy optimizing crystal forms and formulation technologies, the developability of new drugs is significantly enhanced, accelerating their clinical progress and commercialization. CRYSTAL Pharmatech's services cover: Mol2Med developability assessment, screening and determination of drug crystal forms, salts, and co-crystals, crystallization process development, preclinical formulation research, and optimal formulation development, production, and clinical supply for Phase I, II, III, and commercial stages.


Both CRYSTAL Pharmatech and Divamics Inc. have deep expertise in their specialized niche fields and are committed to becoming "hidden champions" in their respective domains. Through this strategic collaboration, the two parties will establish a critical pathway encompassing “molecular design-polymorph formulation-clinical supply,” providing pharmaceutical companies with more efficient and reliable R&D support.


This strategic cooperation is not only a complementary advantage between two technology-driven enterprises but also an upgrade to the paradigm of new drug research and development. Through the deep integration of AI and experimental science, more molecules with high development potential will be moved to clinical trials faster in the future, benefiting patients worldwide.



Dr. Zheng Zheng, Founder of Divamics"It is stated that: 'The cooperation with CRYSTAL Pharmatech is a model of ‘AI + experimental science.’ We look forward to leveraging Divamics' patented AI and computational chemistry technologies to rationally design at the molecular level, effectively, accurately, and rapidly advancing the drug pipeline to PCC and delivering it. Combined with CRYSTAL Pharmatech's profound expertise in crystal form formulation, we will jointly provide the industry with an integrated one-stop drug R&D solution that combines dry and wet experiments.'"



Dr. Minhua Chen, Co-founder, Chairman and CEO of CRYSTAL Pharmatech"Divamics' AI technology can significantly improve the efficiency of drug discovery, while CRYSTAL Pharmatech's core technology ensures these molecules are quickly transformed into developable drugs. The collaboration between the two parties will greatly shorten the 'valley of death' phase in new drug development."

About Divamics

Divamics is a company thatArtificial Intelligence, Quantum Mechanics, and Molecular Simulation AlgorithmsA technology-driven biopharmaceutical company powered by core technologies and cross-disciplinary techniques to simulate and empower new drug research and development. The company is based onA Next-Generation AI Drug Discovery Platform Built by Combining Multiscale Molecular Dynamics with Self-Innovated AI Algorithms, providing a variety of computational chemistry services, including but not limited to highly flexible target modeling, target druggability analysis, drug screening, design, and optimization for small molecules, peptides, antibodies, PROTACs, and other fields. Particularly for difficult-to-drug targets, we offer molecular druggability mechanism analysis, novel drug molecular structure design, and structural optimization solutions.


The company has been awarded the Suzhou Industrial Park Technology Leading Project, the Suzhou-level Gusu Leading Talent Project, and the National High-tech Enterprise. Its core technology has been recommended by Professor Roald Hoffmann, a Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry. The company's headquarters is located in Suzhou, with a computing center in Beijing and BD cooperation centers in Singapore and Japan. It has currently collaborated with over 40 domestic and international biopharmaceutical companies to advance more than 70 new drug development pipelines. On average, it takes about 30 molecules and half a year to one year to successfully advance to PCC, significantly revolutionizing the traditional "three tens" dilemma of long new drug molecule R&D cycles, high costs, and low success rates. Two collaborative pipelines have successfully entered Phase III clinical trials.
