Skymount Medical to Receive Silver Stevie Award from the Annual American Business Awards

Skymount Medical has been awarded a Silver Stevie ® Award in the Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning Solution category of the 20th annual American Business Awards. This award is based on the company’s work developing its DeepDrug™ AI platform. 

The company utilized an AI platform developed by Louisiana State University (LSU) researchers to repurpose and build new drugs for innovative new therapies. Their DeepDrug™ AI platform is designed to accelerate drug discovery and development for the entire industry. 

Alongside this platform, the company is working on developing combination therapies to fight COVID-19 and all coronavirus strains. Their focus extends to other infectious diseases as well as new antibiotics that target antibiotic-resistant bacteria and rare diseases.

The American Business Awards is the premier business awards program in the United States. All organizations operating in the U.S. are eligible to submit nominations, whether they are public or private, for-profit or non-profit, large or small.

“We are honored and gratified to be among the elite group of companies recognized for their achievements,” said Zubin Kothawala, chief executive officer of Skymount Medical. “It is especially meaningful that the judges’ comments included words like ‘revolutionary’ and ‘sophisticated’ when describing our computer-aided drug design software that uses key components to deliver an efficient, state-of-the-art compound generation that significantly shortens the timelines and reduces the cost for new drug development. Receiving this prestigious award validates our commitment to the important work of advancing the development of improved medicines using DeepDrug™ and providing greater access to cutting-edge therapeutics.”
