About

Spring Discovery (later rebranded Spring Science) was an AI-driven biology and drug discovery company that built an AI R&D platform for analyzing single-cell phenotypes using cell painting and advanced image analysis. The platform enabled scientists at biotech, pharma, and academic research organizations worldwide to accelerate therapeutic discovery through machine learning-powered image processing and phenotypic analysis. Founded in 2017, the company's technology became trusted by scientists globally and was described as 'an amazing software platform for single-cell phenotypes' by a Head of Imaging at a major pharmaceutical company. Spring's AI R&D platform was subsequently acquired by a major biotech leader in the Bay Area, where it continues to serve scientists in the pursuit of new therapies.
