Osmo

Osmo is a machine olfaction startup based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Under the leadership of CEO Alex Wiltschko, Osmo combines machine learning, data science, psychophysics, olfactory neuroscience, electrical engineering, and chemistry to digitize odors using a multidisciplinary approach. Its work builds on machine olfaction research validated by the team at Google Research, including a 2019 study that used graph neural networks to predict a molecule's smell based on its structure. The company has begun efforts in the fragrance and perfume market to create a new generation of aromatic molecules.
