AI for Science
We believe deep learning will have a transformational impact on the natural sciences
The consequences are potentially far-reaching, from the discovery of new drugs to the design of green energy, and could dramatically improve our ability to model and predict natural phenomena over widely varying scales of space and time.
Our team
Our project-focused team encompasses world experts in machine learning, quantum physics, computational chemistry, molecular biology, software engineering, and other disciplines, who are working together to tackle some of the most pressing real-world challenges in this field. We partner with our Microsoft colleagues to bring these ideas to reality. We have a global presence, with locations in the United Kingdom, United States, China, The Netherlands and Germany.
