Can a machine discover a cure faster than a scientist? Welcome to the revolutionary world of Recursion Pharmaceuticals, the pioneering TechBio company determined to solve biology using AI and industrial automation.

In this deep-dive, we explore how Recursion replaced slow, human-biased research with the Recursion OS, a closed-loop platform that generates massive, proprietary biological data. Learn about the company's bold vision, from the crucial $50 million NVIDIA investment and the strategic merger with Exscientia to the immense computational power of the Boltz-2 supercomputer. We analyze their pipeline progress in oncology and rare diseases, discuss the challenges of high cash burn (like the recent pipeline streamlining in November 2025), and examine their critical partnerships with giants like Roche/Genentech. Discover why Recursion is leading the charge to build the digital "Map of Biology and Chemistry" to cut drug discovery time from a decade to mere years.
