Description:
Join us for an in-person Distinguished Panel event featuring Julius Lucks, Chris Wolverton, moderated by Chris Schuh.
Title: "Generative AI for Molecules & Materials"
Since the award of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, AI is no longer a theoretical tool. AlphaFold and its successors are now being used to rapidly identify disease targets, create novel molecules, and predict drug properties (like toxicity and effectiveness), significantly faster and cheaper than before. Likewise, Gnome and its successors are now reshaping the landscape of materials design, allowing designers to specify function first and then generate potential structures, dramatically speeding up discovery. Join our Distinguished Panel to learn how AI is reshaping the synthesis of materials, molecules, and drugs!
Lunch will be provided. Registration is required.
