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.

Molecular Assembly Website Goes Live

A beta version of a new Molecular Assembly website has now gone live. Developed by researchers as the University of Glasgow and Arizona State University, the website allows users to query and investigate a database of molecular assembly (MA) indices for molecules, with upcoming functionality for live MA calculations. Molecular Assembly is an application of Assembly Theory, which is a novel theoretical framework developed to characterize the information required to build objects, and has applications in detecting alien life and searching chemical space for drug candidates.
