Machine learning model helps characterize compounds for drug discovery Tandem mass spectrometry is a powerful analytical tool used to characterize complex mixtures in drug discovery and other fields.

Several Amy Facility staff members worked on projects contributing to the completion of the new chemistry labs.

Purdue has the chemistry lab of the future today, complete with all-digital lab manuals and notebooks Configuring socially distanced lab spaces for 2,900 general chemistry students was logistically impossible, so Purdue University’s beginning chemistry labs are taking place online this fall, the next best thing to being there.
