AI Inference Platform for Drug Discovery
Tamarind Bio is a website and API which allows scientists to use computational biology tools at scale using a simple interface. On Tamarind, scientists can use ML models like AlphaFold to design and simulate molecules by simply selecting inputs instead of or setting up a high performance computing environment or dealing with DevOps. Tamarind is used by tens of thousands researchers in large pharma companies, top biotechs, and academic institutions.
Tamarind Bio offers an AI infrastructure platform for biotech R&D, enabling design, scoring, and optimization of proteins, peptides, small molecules, and related biologics using a wide suite of published tools. The platform emphasizes massive-scale access to tools like AlphaFold, RFdiffusion, GROMACS, and hundreds more, via a centralized interface with secure cloud hosting. It targets researchers and biotechs seeking streamlined access to computational biology methodologies without setup overhead.
Provides a centralized web interface and programmatic API that gives users access to a large library of computational biology tools (e.g., AlphaFold, RFdiffusion, MPNN, GROMACS) for design and evaluation of antibodies, enzymes, peptides, small molecules, and nanobodies. The service handles high-performance compute, parallelization, and GPU orchestration to support hundreds of thousands of inputs. Key capabilities include design and optimization of variants, de novo binders, binding pose prediction, design of developability properties, and de novo molecule design, all with an emphasis on preserving user-owned inputs/derivatives in a SOC 2 compliant secure cloud. It also highlights pre-integrated workflows for antibody design, enzyme engineering, peptide discovery, and small molecule design, with an emphasis on ease of use and scalability.
Who it’s for: Biotech researchers and organizations needing computational biology tooling for drug discovery and protein engineering, including biotechs and global biopharma companies.

AmazonI'm currently building Tamarind Bio: easy to use computational biology tools for scientists. I studied Computer Science at Stanford. Previously, I've worked at AWS and as a machine learning researcher at Stanford.
The simplest way for life scientists to use computational tools!
Tamarind offers a web platform that lets scientists use state-of-the-art computational tools for protein design, structure prediction (including AlphaFold/ColabFold), and molecular docking without writing code, and provides infrastructure to run these tools at large scale. It targets life scientists in drug discovery and structural biology, aiming to simplify access to open-source bioinformatics workflows.
