Alastair Price is interested in the "chemical space problem", that there exist more possible combinations of drug molecules than atoms in the universe. He uses computers to probe this massive space for usable pharmaceuticals.
“Blue sky research is where my ultimate passion lies. I believe that humanity achieves its most impressive feats when we are at our most curious and collaborative.”

“The chemical space problem” is large and challenging. What tools do we have to tackle it? Just as in Star Trek and Star Wars, we first need to understand what “the chemical space” is made of. Molecules are one of its building blocks. Molecules are the smallest particle of a substance that still have all […]
Chemistry is the natural science that probes the composition, structure, properties, and reactivity of atoms, molecules, and materials. “One of the simplest questions that can be asked about molecular diversity is how many organic molecules are possible in total?” – Jean-Louis Reymond, The Chemical Space Project. In practice, the answer to this question is not […]
