AITHYRA

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.

AIHTYRA aims to become Europe’s leading hub where AI researchers, biologists, and engineers join forces to tackle life’s biggest scientific challenges. With a startup mindset and open-science culture, they move fast, share widely, and work across borders. Based in Vienna, AIHYRA fosters an inclusive environment with clear career paths and high standards of integrity—training future leaders who will drive the next wave of AI-driven biomedical breakthroughs.
