DeepMatter collaborates further with the University of
Nottingham
DigitalGlassware (R) to be adopted by the University of
Nottingham's School of Chemistry to support the development of
machine learning models of sustainable chemistry
DeepMatter (AIM: DMTR), the AIM-quoted company focusing on
digitising chemistry, is delighted to be collaborating again with
the University of Nottingham's School of Chemistry, providing
access to the DigitalGlassware(R) platform to support the
University's sustainable chemistry initiatives. Separate to the
project announced in February 2020, this collaboration will focus
on the development of machine learning models of sustainable
chemistry for researchers in the pharmaceutical sector and related
chemical-based industries.
The project will be led by Professor Jonathan Hirst, Professor
of Computational Chemistry & Royal Academy of Engineering Chair
in Emerging Technologies, at the University's Faculty of Science,
and will see scientists use DigitalGlassware (R) to develop machine
learning techniques to help chemical engineers and chemists make
their manufacturing processes more sustainable. In an extension to
the project, Professor Hirst will work with scientists at the
University of Nottingham's Centre for Sustainable Chemistry, to
build interactive machine learning models of sustainability,
effectively rules to follow, that can be used in the early
discovery phase by researchers in the pharmaceutical sector when
seeking to develop new drugs and related chemicals in a more
sustainable manner.
A further project, run by Professor Ross Denton, will look at
capturing data in the lab to help with forward prediction using
computational modelling.
DigitalGlassware(R) is an integrated software, hardware and
artificial intelligence enabled platform, which allows chemistry
experiments to be accurately and systematically recorded, coded and
entered into a shared data cloud allowing real-time and post-hoc
analysis of the chemistry. The systematic structuring and recording
of the data within DigitalGlassware(R) means that the platform can
provide large and structured chemical reaction data sets, suitable
for interrogation by machine learning techniques in a way not
previously possible with smaller sets of manually collected and
recorded data.
Mark Warne, CEO of DeepMatter Group, commented:
"Having worked with the University of Nottingham previously in
their Digital Teaching Laboratory, we are delighted to be working
with Jonathan in his challenge to design, make and ultimately
manufacture new molecules in a more sustainable fashion. We
recognise that significant changes are required in the way science
is organised and conducted for there to be progress towards a more
sustainable environment and we are pleased that our technology will
play a role in developing the industry's sustainability. Jonathan,
Ross and their teams will have access to our innovative cloud-based
platform, DigitalGlassware(R), allowing them to share and use the
data with machine learning and AI technologies to provide unique
perspectives."
Professor Jonathan Hirst, Professor of Computational Chemistry
& Royal Academy of Engineering Chair in Emerging Technologies ,
Faculty of Science, the University of Nottingham added:
" At the moment, there are all kinds of inefficiencies, which
are largely neglected in the search for new chemicals with specific
desired properties. This project will provide machine learning
tools for chemists and chemical engineers that will help them
address two questions. How do we find greener synthetic routes to
chemicals? And how do we identify greener target molecules from the
outset? DigitalGlassware(R) is a great fit with this project as its
machine learning and AI enabled approach to data delivers greater
value and will help to revolutionise chemistry in both productivity
gains and the discovery of new insights."

About DeepMatter Group plc
DeepMatter's long term strategy is to integrate chemistry with
technology, thereby enabling a greater use of artificial
intelligence and reaching a point where chemicals can be
autonomously synthesised through robotics. It has developed and is
commercialising data rich platform technologies, including software
and laboratory hardware, focused on applications to improve R&D
productivity and discovery using Machine Learning / Artificial
Intelligence.
DeepMatter's technologies allow chemistry experiments to be
accurately and systematically recorded, coded and entered into a
shared data cloud. They are designed to enable chemists to work
together effectively; sharing the details of their experiments from
anywhere and in real-time, so that work is not needlessly
duplicated, time and money wasted, and ultimately so new
discoveries may be made faster.

The University of Nottingham is a research-intensive university
with a proud heritage, consistently ranked among the world's top
100 . Studying at the University of Nottingham is a life-changing
experience and we pride ourselves on unlocking the potential of our
students. We have a pioneering spirit, expressed in the vision of
our founder Sir Jesse Boot, which has seen us lead the way in
establishing campuses in China and Malaysia - part of a globally
connected network of education, research and industrial engagement.
The University's state-of-the-art facilities and inclusive and
disability sport provision is reflected in its status as The Times
and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2021 Sports University of
the Year. We are ranked eighth for research power in the UK
according to REF 2014 . We have six beacons of research excellence
helping to transform lives and change the world; we are also a
major employer and industry partner - locally and globally.
Alongside Nottingham Trent University, we lead the Universities for
Nottingham initiative, a pioneering collaboration which brings
together the combined strength and civic missions of Nottingham's
two world-class universities and is working with local communities
