FMC Corporation and Optibrium collaboration aims to accelerate the discovery of novel crop protection technologies by leveraging the power of machine learning and artificial intelligence
Expanding FMC's Discovery process to include Optibrium's innovative Augmented Chemistry® AI technologies will help bring new solutions to growers faster. Machine learning and AI methods will serve to identify promising compounds, optimize their properties and continue the company's focus on sustainable products.
"Our collaboration with Optibrium marks a pivotal moment in crop protection research," said Dr.
FMC will utilize Optibrium's Cerella™ and StarDrop™ technologies to further internal research and development. Cerella™ is an AI platform enhancing molecular discovery with deep learning, enabling more accurate predictions and better experimental prioritization to improve return on investment. StarDrop™ complements this further through small molecule design and optimization, integrating with Cerella™ to leverage AI for improved data analysis in discovery.
"We are delighted that our robust AI and software platforms are supporting FMC, a global leader in crop protection, to enhance their discovery," said
