The Institute

AITHYRA was founded in September 2024 and will combine the best of academic, corporate, and start-up worlds, and will have a mixture of AI and life science experts. In the ultimate expansion state, AITHYRA is envisioned to have 10-14 junior and senior research groups, as well as many global collaborators, very substantial computational and experimental infrastructure, and a state-of-the-art AI-driven robotic lab. With a generous donation from the Boehringer Ingelheim Foundation, the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW) is hosting AITHYRA in Vienna.
