At ChemAlive, our goal is to allow the full and automatic calculation of accurate and reliable data for molecular properties and synthetic reactions available to all chemists from basic 2D chemical syntax. Our technologies beckon a future where, through computation, we know everything about a molecule and how to make it before the first test tube is in hand. A future where R&D is more directed, chemical processes are more efficient, more environmentally sound and the chemical industry is able to tackle more technological and medicinal challenges faster, for less, and with a greater beneficial impact and scope on society.
