The Molecular and Material Design Technology Hub aims to accelerate the discovery of materials and molecules critical to solving major societal challenges, by implementing and developing new technologies across disciplines.

Ambition

The ambition of the Molecular and Material Design Technology Hub (MMD TechHub) is to deploy and strengthen technology-driven accelerations in the discovery process, delivering technological solutions in both the Health and Green research themes of the faculty, and addressing the Sustainable Development Goals and the objectives of the EU GreenDeal.  

By establishing the MMD TechHub, we combine our long-standing expertise in chemistry, physics and the life sciences with our strengths in AI and computational, data, and quantum information sciences. Such unique combination of expertise represents a strong interdisciplinary research ecosystem that offers great potential for highly disruptive science and technology.
