"I'm thrilled to join Exscientia and be part of the mission to revolutionise how new therapeutics are developed. I firmly believe that AI-led strategies are vital to improving all aspects of the process, and we've likely only just seen the beginning of how AI can transform conventional drug discovery and development. I look forward to exploring new frontiers where we can apply this innovation to ultimately bring better medicines to patients, faster.
