Accelerate Seed Grant recipient aims to improve delivery of drugs that treat brain diseases using self-driving lab technology

Dr Leo Chou uses a technique called DNA origami to treat genetic diseases with support from AC Seed Grant funding.

WHY

Materials have the potential to transform our lives and our world for the better. We make these materials cheaper and faster while remaining committed to ethical design principles.

How we do it

We build self-driving labs—that combine material science with the power of artificial intelligence, robotics, and advanced computing—to rapidly design and test new materials and molecules.
