DeepMatter
DeepMatterâs 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. In the near term this involves the provision of an integrated software, hardware and artificial intelligence enabled platform, DigitalGlasswareâ˘, to scientists across research and process development sectors. The DigitalGlassware⢠platform allows chemistry experiments to be accurately and systematically recorded, coded and entered into a shared data cloud. The platform is 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. In 2019, DeepMatter Group acquired InfoChem based in Munich, Germany. InfoChem has more than 30 years; experience in the development and integration of sophisticated software tools for the storage and handling of structure and reaction information. The company main activities involve the production of synthesis planning and reaction prediction solutions and the automatic extraction of scientific information from text and images.
Dotmatics
Dotmatics is a scientific informatics software and services company that is driving the automation of laboratory workflows for discovery and innovation research – accelerating the journey towards full digitalization and the Lab of the Future. Dotmatics mission is to give scientists access to all of their data, all of the time; supporting them to embrace digitalization and informatics at the heart of their journey to solve humanityâs most fundamental challenges.
EPSRC
The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) is the main funding body for engineering and physical sciences research in the UK. By investing in research and postgraduate training, we are building the knowledge and skills base needed to address the scientific and technological challenges facing the nation. EPSRC is part of UK Research and Innovation, a new body which works in partnership with universities, research organisations, businesses, charities, and government to create the best possible environment for research and innovation to flourish. We aim to maximise the contribution of each of our component parts, working individually and collectively. We work with our many partners to benefit everyone through knowledge, talent and ideas.
GSK
