DigiFAB relies on four interconnected pillars to tackle major challenges in digital molecular design and fabrication, led by experts reflecting 51³Ô¹ÏÍø's interdisciplinary strength.

Research pillars

DigiFAB research pillars

The pillars, underpinned by our Data Strategy, work together to deliver research applications such as Reaction Optimisation, AI-driven materials discovery, Accelerated drug-discovery and Precision Agriculture. You can find a recent example of data-driven approach for drug discovery .

Applications

DigiFAB works on closing the loop. An autonomous chemistry laboratory runs experiments. In the cycle, AI models the experiment and designs for example a compound, robotic equipment runs the synthesis, and AI evaluates the output; researchers interpret the data and adjust experimental models as needed.
