Abstract
Friday 20 February, 13:00 – 14:00
Speaker: Professor David Shorthouse, University College London
Talk Title: AI (and robots!) for Accelerated Discovery in Pharmaceutical Science
Biography: David did his DPhil at the University of Oxford in molecular dynamics simulations before moving to the MRC Cancer Unit at the University of Cambridge for his postdoctoral work in computational oncology, and taking up Fellowship at Murray Edwards College. In 2023 David moved to the UCL School of Pharmacy to start his lab. His group applies AI and machine learning methods coupled with robotics to accelerate optimisation and discovery in pharmaceutical science, integrating them into so-called “Self Driving Labs”. In 2025 David founded Implexis (www.implexis.ai), a spin out company building self driving labs for discovery of medicine formulations which has successfully raised venture capital funding over two rounds as of 2025.
Series This talk is part of the Department of Pharmacology Seminar Series series.
