Acceleration Consortium
The Acceleration Consortium is leading a paradigm shift in scientific discovery through the development of self-driving artificial intelligence-guided robotic labs that accelerate the discovery of advanced materials and small molecules, from decades to years. The consortium addresses fundamental topics, such as deep learning algorithms, materials modelling, and robotics and applied challenges, such as discovering materials for a wide range of commercial applications. The Acceleration Consortium supports a commercialization-focused ecosystem that aims to translates materials discoveries through start-ups and industry partnerships.

Groundbreakers: U of T’s Acceleration Consortium rethinks the laboratory to optimize the discovery-to-commercialization process
What does the lab of the future look like? When it comes to advanced materials, can we accelerate the process of discovery to commercialization from 25 years to 10, five or even one? These are some of the issues explored by Alán Aspuru-Guzik, director of the Acceleration Consortium at the University of Toronto, and polymer […]
