15. AI in Chemistry
• Chemistry and Artificial Intelligence are
inextricably linked
• healthcare industry-drug discovery and
development
• AI can help with everything from molecule
synthesis to molecular property identification
• More patents and publications
• helping scientists design new molecules and
synthesize them
• discovering new drugs, new materials, new
catalysis
16. Dr Alpha Lee from Cambridge’s Cavendish Laboratory,
“Machine learning algorithms can have a better understanding
of chemistry because they distil patterns of reactivity from
millions of published chemical reactions, something that a
chemist cannot do.”
Reaction prediction technology
