Self-driving labs are transforming chemistry; but high cost & complexity limit access to a few well-funded labs.
We wanted to change that.
Our new paper in @NatureSynthesis introduces RoboChem-Flex 🧪🤖

📄New Preprint: We report a radical disconnection strategy that enables the direct, single-step, photocatalytic conversion of α-amino acids into differentiated vicinal diamines.
Broad scope, functional-group tolerant, and scalable in flow.

We combine ML #DigitalTwins to autonomously design photoreactors with high light capture and uniform irradiation. A virtual photoreactor guides #BayesianOptimization, allowing numerous designs in silico and fabrication of the best candidates.

We felt a sense of urgency to summarize why mixing matters in synthetic organic chemistry.
Our takeaway: don’t toss those stir bars yet!
The truth is more complex than it may seem.

🆕 Preprint out now on @ChemRxiv!
We report a modular flow cascade for the synthesis of γ- & N-substituted γ-lactams via photochemical radical alkylation and cyclization.
Fast, scalable & broad scope!

Congrats to another @PhotoReAct1 PhD graduate!
Pauline Tenblad succesfully defended her PhD @UvA_Amsterdam last week and was surrounded by a bunch ESRs and coordinators @tnoel82 and @chemguy_eli
26 May 2025
🎓 Huge congrats to Dr. Pauline Tenblad!
Our first PhD in the #RoboChem ML track — a true pioneer who helped define our vision of self-driving labs.
From pandemic thesis work to Science publication & a stint at UCLA — an inspiring journey.
Tack, Pauline! 🇸🇪💥

I had a great day in Amsterdam, giving a talk at the University of Amsterdam and then acting as one of the external examiners at my first Dutch PhD viva, and finally getting to witness the celebrations through the canals of Amsterdam. Thanks @tnoel82 for the invite and hosting.
