Our Vision
Chemify is creating a digital chemical future where the access to important molecules, drugs and new materials, currently unimaginable, are instantly accessible. Our aim is to radically increase the speed of innovation, quality of life, solving problems and generating new chemical technologies for the benefit of humanity.
Our Mission
Chemify is building the digital chemistry infrastructure to enable worldwide access to any desired compound instantly and on-demand. Chemify's platform leverages a purpose built programming language, robotics, artificial chemical intelligence, and the world's largest and continuously growing database of validated chemical reactions. Chemify has implemented the full digital-chemistry stack that turns code to molecules & molecules to code.

Founder
Dr. Lee Cronin is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Chemify
Since the age of 9 Lee has wanted to explore chemistry using electronics to control matter. His research spans many disciplines and has four main aims: the construction of an artificial life form; the digitization of chemistry; the use of artificial intelligence in chemistry including the construction of ‘wet’ chemical computers; the exploration of complexity and information in chemistry. His recent work on the digitization of chemistry has resulted in a new programming paradigm for matter and organic synthesis and discovery – chemputation – which uses the worlds first domain specific and universal programming language for chemistry. He has published over 450 papers, given over 500 lectures and has written extensively on all aspects of science from the origin of life to artificial intelligence. His research group is organised and assembled transparently around ideas, avoids hierarchy, and aims to mentor researchers using a problem-based approach. Nothing is impossible until it is tried.
