Apheris Products

Apheris enables governed, private, and secure access to data for machine learning (ML) and analytics. In an era where model architectures are increasingly commoditised, data becomes an organisation’s key differentiator. Businesses need to safeguard their data assets and intellectual property while leveraging them for ML, and Apheris provides the solution.

Apheris Compute Gateway

The Apheris Compute Gateway ensures that only approved computations can be launched on your data. It enables federation across organisational boundaries, allowing ML-powered insights without the need to centralise data. This ensures compliance with data privacy, security, and governance obligations.

Co-Folding Application

Apheris offers a Co-Folding Application that allows users to predict the 3D structure of macromolecule complexes with an emphasis on protein-ligand, protein-protein, and antibody-antigen interfaces using OpenFold3 and Boltz-2. This application features local deployment within minutes, streamlined data preparation using built-in quality controls, and benchmarking and inference functionality.

Federated Data Networks

Apheris powers federated data networks, addressing the challenge of collaboratively training higher-quality models on data from multiple parties while keeping data IP and confidentiality protected. This is particularly crucial in the life sciences sector, where proprietary data is stored in private repositories due to IP and privacy concerns.

AISB Network

Apheris provides the technology layer for the Artificial Intelligence Structural Biology (AISB) Network, a collaboration among leading biopharma companies aimed at transforming AI drug discovery. State-of-the-art AI models are trained and evaluated on unique data from multiple companies without exposing proprietary information.
