With a big assist from artificial intelligence and a heavy dose of human touch, Tim Cernak's lab at the University of Michigan made a discovery that dramatically speeds up the time-consuming chemical process of building molecules that will be tomorrow's medicines, agrichemicals or materials.
Dr. Cernak’s laboratory was awarded $3 million by Schmidt Futures to develop molecular reaction data using high-throughput experimentation, and the software to process it.
“(Dr. Stinger) is a long-standing leader in the field of sepsis and her innovative examination of how to identify and treat those with this critical illness will ultimately result in better patient outcomes, including reduced mortality."
The award recognizes those who have made outstanding contributions to pharmacotherapeutics in their field.
“Dr. Beleh is always striving to find ways so that his students can effectively learn important material, often in entertaining, funny, and relatable ways!"
Mustapha Beleh, PhD, Director of Education and Collegiate Lecturer in Medicinal Chemistry, has been named the 32nd Golden Apple Award recipient.
