“Reaxys in biotechnology: overview and innovation” Talk by Prof. ElSayed Zaki

It’s our pleasure to announce that NU will be hosting Prof. ElSayed Zaki, Researcher and Associate Professor at Egyptian Petroleum (EPRI) and Elsevier Customer Ambassador, for a talk titled “Reaxys in biotechnology: overview and innovation”. The talk will be held on Tuesday 7th March, at 12:00 PM, in Samir Helmy Hall (Room 127). 

• Abstract:

Reaxys Predictive Retrosynthesis is a best-in-class innovation in retrosynthesis for medicinal and synthetic chemistry. Getting from a desired novel molecule to an optimal synthesis route used to take considerable time, effort, and expertise; thus we applied AI and machine learning to high-quality Reaxys data.
