The lab of the future is now

September 15, 2021

Chemical and Engineering News

Recent demonstrations of AI-directed automation may herald a new world for drug and materials discovery.

After making gradual inroads in drug and materials discovery in recent years, artificial intelligence is suddenly appearing in a new light. Autonomous labs that link AI-based data analysis to robotic synthesis and validation are being demonstrated in both academia and industry. These labs prefigure a new work environment in which machines perform many of the traditional functions of researchers. Proponents argue that this self-driven R&D environment will enhance the efforts of multidisciplinary scientists, who will maintain ultimate control. Chemical and drug firms are taking a serious look at what may be the lab of the future.

Experimental and kinetic study of the microwave-assisted catalytic conversion of glucose

Microwave technology offers rapid, selective, and efficient heating, making it a valuable tool for process intensification. In this context, this study employed microwave energy for rapid reaction optimization and reliable kinetic analysis for the catalytic conversion of glucose. Dehydration (DeH) and retro-aldol condensation (RAC) are two main routes for the catalytic conversion of glucose into valuable platform chemicals such as levulinic acid, methyl lactate, and other byproducts.

Toward fully autonomous closed-loop molecular discovery – A case study on JAK targets

Bridging AI and self-driving laboratories, we introduce the first fully-automated, closed-loop molecular discovery cycle, exemplified by the identification of novel JAK inhibitors. With minimal human intervention, we combined AI-driven molecular design and retrosynthesis with IBM’s synthesis automation system RoboRXN and Arctoris’ Ulysses platform for automated in-vitro screening.
