Bunsen Help for Biologics Drug Discovery (Closed Beta)

Bunsen is Schrödinger’s co-scientist in an AI-powered scientific workspace.

Bunsen autonomously executes complex discovery workflows where users can describe a research task in natural language and collaborate with an agent for computational work. Pre-loaded with expert digital chemistry knowledge, Bunsen extends the reach of Schrödinger’s software suite into a seamless, chemistry-native interface.

Describe a task in chat, provide relevant inputs, review the proposed plan, and approve any computation before it runs. Long-running calculations execute asynchronously, and Bunsen reports results after checking the actual output.

Bunsen is currently in closed beta. Learn more on schrodinger.com. Sign up to join the waitlist here.

Bunsen and Maestro BioLuminate

Bunsen is an AI-powered scientific workspace where users can describe a research task in natural language and collaborate with an agent for computational work. Use Bunsen in biologics for a full range of capabilities including modeling antibodies, peptides, enzymes and proteins, helping you carry out your scientific objectives from end to end. Bunsen is best for when you want to describe a broader research goal conversationally and have an agent plan, coordinate, execute, and analyze the work.

Maestro BioLuminate is Schrödinger’s graphical user interface to streamline computationally-guided biologics drug discovery.

Bunsen is designed to connect with Maestro BioLuminate so users can move between conversational, agent-driven work and Maestro BioLuminate's graphical modeling environment.

Maestro Assistant

Maestro Assistant helps you work inside Maestro BioLuminate . Use Maestro Assistant when you are already in Maestro BioLuminate and need contextual help or help with styling or executing tasks in the Workspace.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Bunsen?

Bunsen is an AI co-scientist on the Schrödinger platform. It turns natural-language scientific goals into validated computational workflows.

What can I do with Bunsen?

Bunsen covers the full range of Schrödinger workflows conversationally, including preparing protein structures, docking, FEP+ setup, molecule design with AutoDesigner, molecular dynamics simulations, ADMET prediction, and database queries.

Does Bunsen support my scientific domain?

Yes. Bunsen provides curated skills, tools, and chemistry-specific context spanning small molecule drug discovery, biologics, materials science, and enterprise informatics.

What makes Bunsen different from other AI tools?

Bunsen is purpose-built for computational chemistry. It runs actual calculations using Schrödinger's validated physics on your infrastructure.

How does Bunsen handle my proprietary data?

Bunsen is deployed as a single-tenant instance for each organization. Your data stays within your infrastructure, and Schrödinger never trains on your data.

Do I need computational chemistry expertise to use Bunsen?

No. You state your intent in plain language, and Bunsen produces a validated plan for your review before execution.

Does Bunsen replace my existing Schrödinger tools?

No. Bunsen works on top of your existing platform, orchestrating tools such as FEP+, Glide, Jaguar, Desmond, and AutoDesigner.

When will Bunsen be generally available?

Bunsen is currently in closed beta with select discovery teams, and access is expanding. Contact your Account Manager for details.

How do I get access to Bunsen?

Contact your Schrödinger Account Manager to discuss early access and fit for your team's workflows.

Is Bunsen adding new capabilities?

Yes. New expert skills are added continuously across all supported domains as new platform features ship.
