Welcome to
the Isayev Lab
The Isayev lab works at the interface of theoretical chemistry, pharmaceutical sciences, and computer science. We use molecular simulations and artificial intelligence (AI) to solve difficult chemistry problems. Our research has been groundbreaking in the field of ML and quantum mechanics (QM), paving the way for developing several families of atomistic molecular ML potentials that approximate the solution of the Schrodinger equation. We have developed a single ‘universal’ model, which is highly accurate compared to reference QM calculations at millions of times faster speeds. Focusing on parametrization for molecules in neutral and charged states makes it a valuable model for modeling most non-metallic compounds, including chemical reactions, kinetics, thermochemistry, structural optimization, and MD simulations.
We also develop generative AI (GenAI) methods that solve a so-called inverse design problem. These methods enable the design of molecules with the desired physicochemical, biological, or both properties. We successfully validated this approach by designing small-molecule protein kinase, protease, and GPCR inhibitors. We showed that a trained AI model can mimic expert chemists’ skills. This is a prime example of the transfer of decision power from human experts to AI. Using CMU Cloud Lab, we are developing a novel ML-guided molecular discovery platform that combines synergistic innovations in automated experiments and automated machine learning (AutoML) and Reinforcement learning (RL) agents. A software-controlled synthesis platform enables rapid iterative experimental–computational cycles and explores non-intuitive design criteria identified by an agent.
