Synthesis is a major bottleneck in drug discovery. AI synthesis planning can help propose better routes and make generative molecular design tractable.
With our retroChimera model we have been pushing the boundaries of these models further - out in @Nature today. 1/2

Exciting postdoc opportunity in the @SchwallerGroup at EPFL!
We're hiring a postdoc to advance ML-driven synthesis planning after Zlatko Joncev’s successful exit to co-found B-12 (YC '25) 🚀
Work on:
- LLMs for strategic synthesis planning
- Chemical reasoning at scale
- Building the next-gen framework for retrosynthesis
Our recent preprint shows that LLMs can guide synthesis planning with natural-language strategies — combining AI reasoning with traditional chemical tools (arxiv.org/abs/2503.08537).
Join us at the intersection of chemistry & AI. Up to 2 years. Based in Lausanne 🇨🇭

Out now! @pschwllr, @SchwallerGroup, @loic_roch, @VictorSabanza and colleagues provide guidelines and recommendations for when to use multi-fidelity Bayesian optimization over their single-fidelity counterparts

AdsMT is finally out in @NatureComms 🥳
It is designed for rapid prediction of global minimum adsorption energy (GMAE) from surface graphs and adsorbate descriptors.
Thanks to @XuHuang461675 , @pschwllr and @NCCR_Catalysis!

Another great #Ellis workshop on ML for Molecular Discovery. Thanks to @gklambauer, @fra_grisoni, and the whole organizing team!
Proud of our team's contributions - 3 posters (@d_armstr, @kelmannson, @ZJoncev) and an excellent talk by @SarinaKopf! Very well done!
