Bringing ML Driven Drug Discovery to the Fragrance Industry

Join us for our next in-person event, hosted at NYU's Simons Center where we will hear from Richard Whitcomb of Osmo. Richard's talk will be on The emergence of large virtual libraries has revolutionized molecular discovery in the drug discovery space, making billions of compounds readily accessible. However, this revolution has not yet been utilized in the Fragrance Industry because of the lack of in-silco molecular scoring. In this presentation, Richard Whitcomb will discuss how Osmo has adapted ultra-large library screening techniques from drug discovery to the fragrance industry, utilizing both structure-based methods and human sensory annotations to identify novel and potent odorants.

Thank you very much to the NYU Simons Center for hosting this event! The NYU Simons Center for Computational Physical Chemistry aims to be a hub for computational physical chemistry. Spanning many disciplines — mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and computer science — the Simons Center promotes the use of computational, physics-based approaches to solving problems, fosters collaboration across the global computational chemistry community, and works to expand and strengthen the diversity of participants in this field.

After the talk, we will have a networking reception with light refreshments at a nearby location.

Please note that this event is in-person only. Unfortunately, we are not able to accommodate remote attendance. This event will not be recorded.

To help with logistics, RSVP is essential by September 26th. Due to building policies, we may not be able to accommodate registrations after that date.

Thank you and we look forward to seeing you soon!
