All are welcome to join the symposium via Zoom on Monday, May 11, 2026.

On Monday, May 11, 2026 at 10:00AM ET, the inaugural class of XtalPi AI for Science Fellows will present their research in a virtual symposium.

The XtalPi AI for Science Fellowships are the manifestation of a gift from XtalPi, a biotechnology company founded by former MIT postdoctoral researchers, to the MIT Departments of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering.

XtalPi (pronounced “Ex-tal Pi”) AI for Science Fellowships are designed to fund students and postdocs working at the intersection of Chemistry/Chemical Engineering and machine learning, artificial intelligence, and automation. Projects related to small molecule discovery and chemical synthesis are especially encouraged.
