Leveraging their existing technologies and expertise, including Molecule.one’s proprietary generative deep learning models and synthesis planning platform with chemist-first UI, and CAS’ world-class chemical reactions content collection and deep industry knowledge, the two organizations will work together to enhance and develop solutions for efficient and innovative chemical synthesis planning. Beyond their complementary capabilities, the organizations’ collaboration is fueled by their shared goal to empower scientists and accelerate breakthroughs.
“We are thrilled to bring to market the first generative models for chemistry trained on CAS’ content, as CAS’ strategic partner for synthetic accessibility and retrosynthesis deep learning enhancements,” says Piotr Byrski, Molecule.one’s co-founder and CEO. “Generative AI has demonstrated amazing feats across multiple fields when trained on large datasets and I believe that there’s a clear need for bringing this to drug discovery. I’m very proud of both CAS & Molecule.one teams, who have worked diligently over the past year to identify how we can bring together Molecule.one’s unique technology and expertise in AI and CAS’ comprehensive chemical dataset. I am excited that in the upcoming months and years, we will witness the outcomes of this collaboration and the significant impact it will have on the pharmaceutical industry.”
The first joint offering, M1 RetroScore powered by CAS, will be part of the Molecule.one product suite and will replace their current synthetic accessibility scoring tool, RetroSAS. Leveraging the recent advances in generative model development by Molecule.one’s team, the solution uses machine learning models trained on the CAS best-in-class chemical reactions content to predict the likelihood of synthesis for novel molecules. M1 RetroScore powered by CAS provides all users with synthetic accessibility scores along with the corresponding potential top synthesis pathways for given targets. For users of CAS SciFindern, the tool will connect with reference reactions within the CAS SciFindern platform. M1 RetroScore powered by CAS is the first commercially available synthetic accessibility scoring tool trained on CAS content.
Molecule.one and CAS are also collaborating to enhance the world-class retrosynthesis capabilities already available in CAS SciFindern. As part of their continued dedication to improving their solutions, CAS will incorporate Molecule.one’s deep learning models to improve its synthesis predictions and aid scientists in exploring potential synthetic routes for small molecules, thus accelerating scientific breakthroughs.
“Chemical reactions and retrosynthesis capabilities from CAS are unparalleled,” says Tim Wahlberg, Chief Product Officer for CAS. “By collaborating with Molecule.one, we will bring a unique combination of capabilities to the market to solve challenges in synthesis planning – both early-stage screening for synthesizability as well as laboratory and scale-up synthesis design. These solutions will continue to reduce time spent in the discovery process for scientists, empowering them with efficiencies throughout their innovation journey.”
M1 RetroScore powered by CAS will officially launch on August 14 and will be presented at Molecule.one’s booth #364 at ACS Fall 2023 from August 14-16 in San Francisco. Learn more at www.molecule.one/retroscore.

Esri Launches Online GIS Course for Climate Action28.9.2023 23:01:00 EEST | Press release
As the impacts of climate change increase and intensify around the world, one aspect that has become clear is the geographic nature of the issue. The ability to tackle such a wide-reaching geographic challenge requires technology that gives context, which location intelligence provides. To support the individuals working toward this goal, Esri, the global leader in geographic information system (GIS) technology, today announced it will offer a new massive open online course (MOOC) exploring the application of its software to address climate change impacts. The complimentary course will be available this fall for six weeks on the Esri Academy website and includes full access to ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Network Analyst, ArcGIS Online, and other ArcGIS software that uses science-based tools and authoritative data. GIS for Climate Action opens on October 25 and provides a comprehensive introduction to how GIS software is used to ingest, map, visualize, analyze, and share massive amounts of data.
