The Cronin Group

Research in the Cronin Group is motivated by the fascination for complex chemical systems, and the desire to construct complex functional molecular architectures that are not based on biologically derived building blocks.

Chemify Opens World-First Chemputation Facility

Chemify, a spin-out from the University of Glasgow, has officially opened its new site and the world’s first chemputation facility. This marks an ambitious step toward revolutionizing how molecules are designed and manufactured. The opening ceremony, hailed as a major milestone for digital chemistry, brought together collaborators, investors, and partners from across industry and academia.

The event showcased Chemify’s cutting-edge technology, including R&D kit developed with the Cronin Group. This highlighted the group’s pioneering role in driving automated and programmable chemical synthesis. The Cronin Group and Chemify continue to collaborate closely on research projects.

With the launch of this new site, referred to as a “ChemiFarm,” Chemify aims to accelerate the translation of lab-based molecular discovery into scalable manufacturing. The company uses AI and digital tools to radically transform the chemical supply chain.
