Cronin Group Member Dean Thomas Presents Chemputer Research at Vision Weekend 2025

In February, Dean Thomas represented the Cronin Group at Vision Weekend Puerto Rico as a 2025 Foresight Fellow, presenting the group’s work on autonomous Chemputer platforms for synthesizing molecular machines. The event, organized by the Foresight Institute, brought together over 200 researchers, entrepreneurs, and investors working at the forefront of biotech, nanotech, AI, and other emerging fields. Dean’s presentation contributed to discussions on automation in molecular assembly, aligning with the conference’s broader focus on accelerating high-impact scientific and technological innovation.
