September 24, 2025 | 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Can we teach a lab to design biomaterials on its own? Find out at our next AC seminar featuring Adam Gormley (Rutgers University).
Discover how BioMAP, an AI-powered, self-driving biomaterials lab, is revolutionizing discovery. By automating the design and testing process, BioMAP rapidly identifies materials that work in harmony with the complexity of biological systems.
This seminar is ideal for researchers and innovators at the intersection of biomaterials, machine learning, robotics, and computational science.
