OUR EXPERIENCE

Our leadership team has deep experience in building successful teams to deliver scientific success and commercial value. Together we have assembled a dynamic multi-disciplinary team, dedicated to make enzyme design a reality.

experimentalists

Our team works at the intersect of AI and biology, We combine structural biologists, bioinformaticians and Machine Learning specialists with highly skilled experimentalists who capture high quality empirical data to feed back to our systems.

CREATIVELY EMPOWERED

Most importantly, our team is empowered to think creatively and find solutions to the most demand challenge of enzyme design.

LORd John browne
CHAIRMAN

Former CEO of BP, where he built the company into the world’s third-largest energy enterprise and created tens of billions of dollars in value. Founder of BeyondNetZero, a growth, climate fund. Former President of the Royal Academy of Engineering and Co-Chair of the UK Prime Minister’s Council on Science and Technology.

Andrew hopkins
Chief Executive Officer

AI pioneer driving the largest IPO for a European Biotech, EXAI. Research driven yet commercially focused, Andrew developed methods that underpin modern drug discovery and took the World’s First AI designed drug into the clinic. Recognising the importance of revolutionising how chemistry is invented.

Ed Pyzer-Knapp
Chief Scientific Officer

As former Head of Research Innovation at IBM UK & Ireland, Ed led programs in AI, HPC & Quantum computing. Ed has pioneered the application of AI to quantum chemistry and is now applying this knowledge at XYME to deliver the next generation of programmable catalysts using Generative Scientific Intelligence.

Adrian
Schreyer
Chief Technology Officer

Start-up to Scale-up tech leader, Adrian built inventive Generative AI systems that pioneered the design of the first AI-designed molecules to enter clinical trials as CTO of EXAI. Now Adrian is applying this knowledge to architecting the systems that underpin XYME’s infrastructure and their application to industry-relevant generative science.

Doug pires
Chief DEVELOPMENT Officer

A leading computer scientist with deep expertise in structural biology and chemistry, Doug integrates his knowledge of generative design with a deep understanding of how to create and apply programmable catalysts to address industry requirements. With key commercial insights, Doug leads our customer journeys from project inception to delivery.

OUR TEAM

Our team works at the intersect of AI, Digital Chemistry and Biology. We combine this with the work of our highly skilled experimentalists, who capture high quality empirical data to feed back to our Frontier System.

Most importantly, our team is empowered to think creatively and find solutions to the most demanding challenge of the design of programmable catalysts.
