🔥NEW INSTITUTE IS COMING TO JENA

👉More info here:
https://www.uni-jena.de/en/230621-hipole

Friedrich Schiller University Jena and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (Helmholtz Centre for Materials and Energy, HZB) will jointly establish the "Helmholtz Institute for Polymers in Energy Applications" (HIPOLE) on 1 July 2023. The aim of HIPOLE is to develop sustainable polymer materials for energy technologies that can be rapidly brought into application, in particular polymer-based batteries and perovskite solar cells with polymer additives. HIPOLE will be funded with up to 5.5 million euros per year by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF, 90%) and the Free State of Thuringia (10%). In the start-up phase until 2028, the Free State of Thuringia will additionally fund the new institute with more than ten million euros and take over the financing of the construction costs for the laboratories and offices.

HYDROGEN: Research Into Sustainable Energy Storage

Hydrogen is considered the energy source of the future. It can be produced in a climate-neutral way and used without emitting pollutants. It also makes surplus wind and solar power storable and transportable. To make hydrogen usable on a large scale, scientists at the Center for Energy and Environmental Chemistry in Jena are researching new technologies.

Prof. Ulrich S. Schubert and Dr. Jacob Schneidewind explained this to Jena TV.

📢 Seminar Highlight: ChemChat | LLM-Powered Conversational Assistant for Material Science and Data Visualization 🧪💬

On 04.07.2024, we had the pleasure of hosting an insightful seminar at the Lecture Hall of ZAF, where Dr. Tim Erdmann presented ChemChat, a groundbreaking web application. ChemChat is a conversational assistant designed to revolutionize the field of material science and data visualization.

🌟 Seminar Title: ChemChat | LLM-Powered Conversational Assistant for Material Science and Data Visualization

🔍 Abstract: Dr. Erdmann discussed the limitations of existing AI tools in computational chemistry and introduced ChemChat, a user-friendly application powered by non-GPT/OpenAI large-language models. This innovative tool integrates cheminformatics resources and expert-developed AI models like PubChem, CIRCA, RDKit, GT4SD, RXN, and MolFormer. ChemChat assists chemists with molecule investigation, retrosynthesis, data visualization, and literature research, bridging the gap between complex AI models and practical scientific workflows.

👨‍🔬 About the Speaker: Dr. Tim Erdmann holds a PhD in Polymer Chemistry from TU Dresden/CFAED and has been with IBM Research since 2017. He leads the ChemChat project, focusing on developing AI-powered tools for material science. His journey from polymer chemistry to programming highlights his dedication to advancing scientific discovery through innovative technology.

🗣 Key Highlights:
• Integration of existing cheminformatics tools with LLM-powered conversational interface.
• Application capabilities: molecule investigation, property prediction, retrosynthesis, data visualization, and more.
• Demonstration of ChemChat's use-case specific capabilities and architecture.

Thank you, Dr. Erdmann, for an enlightening presentation and for showcasing the future of AI in material science! 🌐

📢 Exciting New Publication in Nanomedicine! 🧬

We are thrilled to announce groundbreaking advancements in macromolecular prodrugs (MPDs), a significant step forward in drug delivery and cancer therapy.

🔬 What Are MPDs? MPDs are innovative polymer-drug conjugates designed to improve drug stability, prolong blood circulation, and minimize side effects by reducing premature drug leakage and maximizing drug loading capacity.

🚀 Recent Developments: Researchers have made remarkable progress in MPD design, focusing on creating degradable linkages for controlled drug release. These advancements hold the potential to revolutionize treatments for cancer and neurodegenerative diseases by tailoring drug release profiles to specific needs.

🔗 Read the Full Publication: Dive into the latest research for a detailed understanding of how MPDs are set to transform healthcare.
