“I really love what I do! I can’t imagine a better job than using computers and combining new (and old) technologies in innovative ways in scientific research, with the grand purpose of treating diseases. I expect, and hope, that a lot of things will become automated, with computers doing much more for us – from synthesis machines to AIs designing molecules with optimal properties, to using immersive technologies like virtual reality to gain a deeper and better understanding of the drugs we are developing. Without a doubt, embracing new technologies will allow us to push the boundaries of science, enabling new ways of working while making speedier progress.”
