Encyclopedia
Schrodinger, Inc. is a company that specializes in computational drug discovery
Drug discovery
In the fields of medicine, biotechnology and pharmacology, drug discovery is the process by which drugs are discovered or designed.In the past most drugs have been discovered either by identifying the active ingredient from traditional remedies or by serendipitous discovery...

. The two main offices are in Portland, OR and New York, NY. The company makes significant contributions to the science of computational drug design, and their software is used by many pharmaceutical companies and universities. The company offers a whole software suite of products, and strives on keeping the science of the products always up-to-date. Schrodinger has offices in several locations, including United States, Europe, and India.

Schrodinger's Drug Discovery Applications Group (DDAG) is made up of medicinal and computational chemists who have many years of pharmaceutical experience. This group works alongside partners from different countries that include academic groups, small biotechs, and major pharmaceutical companies. As of 2010, Schrödinger has participated in approximately 30 collaborations, many of which have eventually produced successful clinical candidates.
