Rowan

What is Rowan?

Rowan is a web-based computational chemistry platform for molecular design, simulation and prediction. It serves drug discovery and materials science teams that do not want to run their own infrastructure.

Key capabilities of Rowan

• Property prediction: pKa, bond-dissociation energies and redox potentials.
• Neural network potentials and DFT: Molecular modeling.
• Virtual screening: Large compound libraries.
• Free-energy perturbation: Enterprise workflow.
• ADME-Tox prediction: Drug property estimates.
• Reactivity modeling: Transition-state search.
• Python API: Structured API for automation.

How Rowan works

Scientists submit jobs through the web app or Python API, and workloads run on CPU or GPU hardware billed in credits. Enterprise buyers can choose single-tenant or customer-managed deployment.

Who uses Rowan?

Drug discovery and materials teams. Rowan reports 17,000+ active scientists, 2.5M+ calculations and 60+ cited publications, with clients such as Curie.Bio, Orogen and Ligo Biosciences.
