DESCRIPTION:Friday 20 February\, 13:00 - 14:00\n\nSpeaker: Professor David
  Shorthouse\, University College London\n\nTalk Title: AI (and robots!) fo
 r Accelerated Discovery in Pharmaceutical Science\n\nBiography: David did 
 his DPhil at the University of Oxford in molecular dynamics simulations be
 fore 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 couple
 d with robotics to accelerate optimisation and discovery in pharmaceutical
  science\, integrating them into so-called “Self Driving Labs”. In 202
 5 David founded Implexis (www.implexis.ai)\, a spin out company building s
 elf driving labs for discovery of medicine formulations which has successf
 ully raised venture capital funding over two rounds as of 2025.
