Summary
Alessandro Monge is a managing partner and strategic advisor who bridges theoretical physics and commercial AI-driven drug discovery, bringing over 25 years of experience in corporate and business development. He has held senior and C-level roles at companies like Schrödinger, Iktos, and TandemAI, and since 2018 has advised founders, VCs and investment banks through his consultancy Blue Dolphin. His scientific roots in dynamical systems, statistical mechanics and molecular biophysics uniquely inform his ability to evaluate and commercialize computation and “deep physics” approaches in drug discovery. Alessandro has built and led cross-functional teams to establish licensing, collaborations and partnerships with pharma and biotech, while also advising cutting-edge projects in open biomolecular AI and VR-enabled structure-based design. Based in San Diego, he combines hands-on technical fluency (including active interest in full-stack JavaScript) with strategic deal-making, often spotting translational opportunities others miss. He is known for translating rigorous academic concepts into practical business models that accelerate therapeutic innovation.
