On July 13, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. in the ZAF lecture hall, Philosophenweg 7, 07743 Jena Prof Dr. Philippe Schwaller from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) gives a lecture on the topic "AI-Accelerated Organic Synthesis".

Everyone interested ist invited to come!

AI-accelerated Organic Synthesis is an emerging field that uses machine learning algorithms to improve the efficiency and productivity of chemical synthesis. Modern machine learning models, such as large language models, can capture the knowledge hidden in large chemical databases to rapidly design and discover new compounds, predict the outcome of reactions, and help optimise chemical reactions. One of the key advantages of AI-accelerated organic synthesis is its ability to make vast chemical data accessible and predict promising candidate synthesis paths, potentially leading tp breakthrough discoveries. Overall, AI is poised to revolutionise the field of organic synthesis, enabling faster and more efficient drug development, catalysis, and other applications.
