Impacting Economies | USW 10 Years of Impact
The Centre of Excellence in Mobile and Emerging Technologies (CEMET) at USW is designed to help businesses to thrive, providing Welsh SMEs with access to funded research and development.
With a particular interest in emerging and enabling technologies which can transform daily lives, CEMET has supported many businesses, such as Cardiff-based company Antiverse - which operates in the medicinal drug discovery sector of the pharmaceutical industry.
Antiverse was founded to introduce artificial intelligence into the process of discovering antibody treatments to discover antibodies inaccessible to traditional methods, improving the success rate and reducing the associated time and cost of new medicines.
Experts at CEMET worked with Antiverse in its early days discussing alternative ways of approaching the problem, producing useful insights for Antiverse's world-first computational system, which is successfully making the discovery of antibody treatments more efficient and accurate.
Antiverse continues to develop rapidly, raising £2.5 million through investment in the past year to further accelerate their business.
