AI, molecule machine join forces to generalize automated chemistry

October 31, 2022

Artificial intelligence, “building-block” chemistry and a molecule-making machine teamed up to find the best general reaction conditions for synthesizing chemicals important to biomedical and materials research – a finding that could speed innovation and drug discovery as well as make complex chemistry automated and accessible.

15 Years of IGB: Accelerating biological engineering through automation and artificial intelligence

August 24, 2022

One of the biggest challenges in traditional laboratory settings is performing countless hours of error-prone lab work: handling reagents, incubating reactions or living cells, synthesizing products, applying treatments, and monitoring outcomes. The Illinois Biological Foundry for Advanced Biomanufacturing was established in 2014 to bypass these cumbersome procedures and support a broad array of research goals.

AI in Cancer Research: Applications of Computational Genomics

September 29, 2021

In bioinformatics, machine learning (ML) tools are used to solve problems in molecular biology and genetics. In healthy cells, genes — the carriers of hereditary information — are switched “on” or “off” to carry out specific tasks. Bioinformatics researchers can decode DNA using artificial intelligence (AI) to understand why some of these switches occur inappropriately, leading to disease.
