Lee Cronin, chief executive officer and founder of Chemify, said: "The first Chemifarm is a watershed moment for molecular innovation. "By combining automation, AI and scalable synthesis, we can now move from code to compound faster than ever, fueling breakthroughs in drug discovery, materials science and beyond." (Image: Chris James for Chemify) A 2022 spin-out from the University of Glasgow, Chemify is built on Professor Cronin's research in digital chemistry. Professor Sir Anton Muscatelli, principal and vice-chancellor of the university, said: "Chemifarm's launch exemplifies the transformative impact that emerges when academic excellence translates into industrial innovation. "This is a hugely significant milestone - as a University, we are committed to working with our partners and funders to enable our cutting edge research to translate into successful spin-outs that scale-up and deliver impact on the regional economy creating jobs and strengthening our regional economic clusters." (Image: Chris James for Chemify) The facility includes production suites, research and development labs and secure cloud infrastructure designed to store petabytes of chemical data for AI-powered analysis. The £12 million project is backed by the Glasgow City Region Innovation Accelerator Programme, a UK Government-led scheme delivered by Innovate UK. Scottish Enterprise also contributed £1.1 million in grant funding. Councillor Susan Aitken, leader of Glasgow City Council and chair of the Glasgow City Region Cabinet, said: "Chemify is a stand-out success story within our emerging innovation economy, one that's both enhancing Glasgow's reputation as an international centre of science and ingenuity while transforming the world of chemical production. "The Chemifarm takes the company's presence in Glasgow to a new level, where it can continue to build on the City Region's support to create quality new jobs and leverage in further private investment as its success grows."
