Healthcare and Life Sciences organizations face mounting pressure to innovate rapidly in complex, highly regulated settings where traditional R&D processes remain slow and resource-intensive. By integrating Persistent's domain expertise in HLS with NVIDIA's full-stack AI platform, the collaboration equips BioPharma and research teams to deploy scalable, production-ready AI solutions that enhance computational drug discovery.
Persistent will utilize NVIDIA BioNeMo and NeMo Agent Toolkit to build its Generative Molecules and Virtual Screening (GenMolVS) solution. This creates domain-specific large models capable of simulating physical and chemical molecule properties, while intelligent agents automate and optimize workflows for virtual screening, prioritization, and downstream experimental guidance.
"Healthcare and Life Sciences organizations need to discover new therapies faster, but traditional R&D is too slow and labor-intensive. By combining our GenMolVS solution with NVIDIA full-stack AI platform, we enable BioPharma clients to use generative molecules and virtual screening in production so they can move from months-long experiments to AI-driven discovery in days, using simulation-led intelligence to guide real-world experimentation without compromising on scientific rigor or compliance," said Ganesh Nathella, Executive Vice President and General Manager - HLS Business, Persistent.
The solution draws on NVIDIA Nemotron open models for further enhancements and relies on NVIDIA accelerated servers, AI Enterprise software, and NIM microservices for efficient, cost-effective scaling and high-accuracy inference embedded in enterprise systems. This infrastructure supports real-time scientific decisioning at scale in compliance-sensitive research settings.
"To meet the urgent global demand for new therapies, the healthcare and life sciences industry is rapidly moving toward AI-driven computational research and discovery. By leveraging the full-stack NVIDIA AI platform, Persistent is empowering biopharma companies with production-grade agentic systems for molecular simulation and virtual screening," said John Fanelli, Vice President - Enterprise Software, NVIDIA.
Through this initiative, Persistent will also strengthen its internal AI engineering practices by accessing NVIDIA's training programs, certification pathways, and advanced infrastructure. The result is more sophisticated data and AI platforms tailored to client needs in accelerating innovation across the HLS sector.
