Onepot’s Brandon Wang explains the bottleneck that shapes drug discovery: chemists can synthesise only a tiny fraction of the small molecules that could theoretically exist. Speaking at a Greylock symposium on AI for science, he describes how large-scale experimentation and machine learning widen that dark chemical space, and how unexpected results from known reactions reveal entirely new chemistry.
Why chemists can only reach a sliver of possible molecules
An Onepot researcher explains how machine learning is opening up the chemical space that synthesis has long left out of reach.
