We’ve been working very hard at Lavo to bring our biggest release to date: Polymorph Screens in the Crystal Console. From the beginning, our goal at Lavo was to enable crystallographers and computatio...

The process of drug development is often described via metaphor. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. A great big funnel. Or even a 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle. Perhaps the best analog to drug development is ...

If you work with scientific data, you've definitely come back to an old project and have no idea how the data were generated or what analysis was performed. For me, that "old project" might only be a ...

Powder patterns are one of the primary data sources in understanding the solid forms of drug molecules. Unfortunately, they’re often shared as non-transferable, low resolution images, making compariso...

As an avid cook, and technically a chemist, I get a little annoyed when people assume this pairing is natural — “Ah of course, because cooking is just chemistry!” Strictly, sure, but it’s like saying ...

Understanding how a molecule crystallizes is a challenging and essential task for developing new pharmaceuticals.

I never knew the late author Kurt Vonnegut would best explain what I do for work. Not in the way you’d expect, like with a prosey metaphor for capitalism or a theory of personal fulfillment. Rather, i...

Lavo Life Sciences runs simulations of drug molecules on computers. Pharma companies use our simulations to guide their experiments, saving hundreds of millions of dollars and years of time in the lab...
