We earn trust where mistakes are expensive.

A platform this broad has to prove itself in the room with the highest stakes. So we picked that room first.

We started with cardiology.

On purpose. A wrong number there shows up as a body count, and everyone in the field knows the numbers by heart. If we couldn't be honest in the hardest place, no one would trust the rest.

The same engine runs every domain above.

Cardiology is just where the receipts are longest. More published trials, more endpoints, more ways to check whether we are right or just sounding right.

Nothing was fitted to the answer.

The whole thing builds from physics: molecular structure, to binding kinetics, to organ-level electrophysiology. Each layer follows from the one before it, not from the result we wanted.

Then the layers connect.

Change a molecule and the signal moves through receptors, cells, tissue, organs, and the whole person. The mechanism is the answer, not just the final number.

We checked it against 72+ real trials.

Cardiology, ARDS, stroke, sepsis, oncology. The scorecard is public, the assumptions are open, and the gaps are named honestly.

Have a look for yourself.

Open the live demos, browse the trial evidence, or just read how the pipeline works. Then come talk to us about what you want to model.

01

One simulation engine, many practical questions.

oNeura is designed to connect a molecule to the body in a traceable way. Instead of treating each disease as a separate model, the same pipeline can estimate properties, target effects, organ response, and downstream outcomes. A few examples:

Drug discovery

From a structure to an effect

Enter a SMILES string. The model estimates the molecule's properties, how it may bind to targets, and what downstream effect that could have. It is meant to explain the mechanism, not just return a score.

Cardiac safety

Catch heart-rhythm risk earlier

Estimate hERG, Nav1.5 and Cav1.2 effects, then run those effects through a heart-cell model. The result is a clearer view of pro-arrhythmic risk from the molecule's structure.

Disease modeling

Watch a disease unfold

Conditions like ARDS, sepsis, stroke, kidney injury and liver failure can be represented as interacting body systems. That makes it easier to ask what changes when a drug, ventilator setting or disease process changes.

Neuroscience

Understand neural circuits

Simulate neural activity from receptor signaling and published circuit parameters. This helps show how molecular and cellular changes can lead to measurable brain activity.

Oncology

Trace tumor growth from signals

Model cell-cycle control, EGFR and AR signaling, antibody-drug conjugates and invasion patterns as connected mechanisms rather than isolated endpoints.

Longevity and metabolism

Study energy, stress and aging pathways

The same engine can represent mitochondrial energy use, oxidative stress, ferroptosis, and metabolic or endocrine pathways that change over time.

Immunology

Connect immune signals to whole-body response

Model adaptive immunity, complement activation, cytokine storms and checkpoint signaling as part of the same body loop.

Precision medicine

Explore one patient's physiology

A patient-specific model can test ventilator settings, drug regimens and projected outcomes for that body in particular, while keeping the assumptions visible.

02

We tested it against known clinical outcomes.

The clearest place to start was cardiology because heart outcomes are well measured and mistakes are consequential. We used the same modeling pipeline for other domains, but cardiology gives us the most direct comparisons against published trial results. The examples below show how a molecule can be taken from structure through binding, cell behavior, organ response and body-level readout.

Cardiology, first proof: the PLATO trial

We used ticagrelor's molecular structure to predict the trial's mortality outcome.

The PLATO trial enrolled 18,624 patients across 43 countries at a cost exceeding $500M. Our simulation produced the same answer from a SMILES string. No patient data, no outcome fitting, no lookup.

pp = percentage points. Trial comparisons use the oNeura multi-organ simulation pipeline. Drug properties are derived from molecular structure. Outcomes are generated by connecting molecular, cellular, organ and whole-body models. Cardiac electrophysiology uses the O'Hara-Rudy ventricular myocyte model and a CiPA-aligned ion channel panel (hERG, Nav1.5, Cav1.2, KCNQ1+minK, Kir2.1). These results are research outputs, not clinical advice.

03

From a question to an answer you can discuss.

The platform is broad, but most teams come to us with concrete decisions. Here are the jobs we are building for first.

01

Screen safety before synthesis

Run a candidate's cardiac liability from its SMILES string. The model estimates hERG, Nav1.5 and Cav1.2 effects and returns a CiPA-style readout so teams can rank molecules before bench work.

Cardiac and CiPA stack
02

Ask a mechanism question clearly

When the question is about how a pathway behaves, simulate the pathway and show the assumptions. Each output can be traced back through the model rather than hidden in a black-box score.

Atom to organ pipeline
03

Build an evidence package

Verification and validation suites produce the documentation a submission or internal review needs. Runs are deterministic and hash verified, so results can be reproduced later.

V and V 40 suites, deterministic runs
04

Explore a patient-specific case

A REST and WebSocket API steps a single ICU patient forward. Change the ventilator, add a drug, read the vitals, SOFA score and projected outcome for that case.

Digital twin API
05

Design peptide or antibody therapeutics

Go from a sequence to estimated properties, simulated trial behavior, drug-to-antibody ratio sweeps and de-immunization suggestions using the same modeling engine.

Peptide and therapeutic APIs
06

Follow disease from molecule to organ

Perturb one molecule and watch the effect move through binding, cell state, tissue, organ function and whole-body response. The mechanism is part of the answer, not just the final number.

Closed-loop multi-organ simulation
04

From a molecule to a body-level readout.

We start with the molecule, estimate how it behaves, then pass those results into connected organ models. The point is to keep the chain of reasoning visible: molecule, target, cell, organ, body.

01 / PARSE

Molecular structure

Enter any drug as a SMILES string. We parse the molecular graph and compute basic properties such as molecular weight, LogP (Wildman-Crippen), polar surface area, and hydrogen bond donors/acceptors.

SMILES LogP PSA Lipinski
02 / BIND

Binding estimates

Drug-target binding rates are estimated from molecular properties and physical encounter models. Kd, kon and koff are produced by the model so the path from structure to effect stays visible.

Smoluchowski Eyring TST Kd estimate
03 / SIMULATE

Connected body model

Binding drives receptor occupancy, occupancy drives organ function, and organ function drives whole-body regulation. Heart, brain, lung, liver and kidney are coupled so a change in one place can be followed through the rest of the system.

Signals come from biology, not shortcuts.

We model how receptors and molecular cascades drive cell activity, instead of tuning the model to match a desired output. Each parameter is tied to a source or derivation so the reasoning can be reviewed.
