"At six, my parents gave me an encyclopedia. Not thinking it unusual, I read it cover to cover twice during that year." Congrats to AC director Alán Aspuru-Guzik for being part of Cell Press' 50 scientists that inspire. Learn about what led Alán to his career path, what he's learned along the way, and how he sees science changing in the next 50 years. ↗️ https://bit.ly/3DcVydG
We inherited a two-volume encyclopaedia from my wife’s late grandfather from the 1970’s. Toronto was only a 700k people city, but I still learn a lot from it. Well deserved recognition!
Inspiring Alan! Congrats. I think I met you around that age.
Congratulations Alan!

2moCongratulations! This recognition is well-deserved, and I’m confident it’s just the beginning of many more to come. Professor Alán Aspuru-Guzik’s groundbreaking work is truly remarkable. By assigning routine tasks to robots and leveraging AI to optimize processes, his approach is poised to revolutionize research, particularly in drug discovery, development, and materials science. Despite the vast scope of his research and the significant demands on his time, Alán remains incredibly kind and a pleasure to work with—even in the capacity of an institutional regulator.
