Research Interest is AI Chemistry. We use Automation, HTE and AI technologies to develop novel methodology, build reaction prediction AI model, and develop new drug for respiratory system disease.
1.Develop novel methodology for selective functionalization of C–H, C–C and other inert bonds.
2.Build AI model for reaction outcome prediction based on the creation of standardized reaction database, ongoing projects are decarboxylative coupling, C–H activation, multicomponent reaction, asymmetric catalysis, photoredox catalysis, etc.
3.Develop new drug for respiratory system disease. We will focus on targets like PLPRO, develop novel tool for compound library synthesis and HTS to expedite the drug discovery process.
If we can achieve our goal of solving not only the theoretical problem of retrosynthesis analysis, of how to convert a target molecule into simpler precursors, but also the practical problem of forward reaction prediction, of how to assemble all the starting precursors to make the target molecule, it will definitely bring chemical synthesis into the era of Lego stacking.
We hope, in the future, chemists don't need to spend most of their time and energy on how to design routes and manually make molecules, but focusing on how to discover novel chemical reactions, what molecules to make, and how to use these molecules to solve problems.
