AI-powered learning and discovery in action

At Chung Shan Medical University (Taiwan), Professor Chih-Chien Chu redesigned his advanced organic synthesis course around Reaxys Predictive Retrosynthesis. Students explored molecule design, literature validation and retrosynthetic pathways using Reaxys’ AI-powered platform—turning theory into applied investigation.

  • 80% of students reported higher engagement and motivation

  • Students gained new insight into cost-efficient, sustainable pathways

  • Reaxys acted as a “senior laboratory mentor,” guiding students toward novel, evidence-based synthesis decisions

This transformation reflects a global trend: AI is increasingly being integrated into academic chemistry to support sustainable, reproducible and forward-looking research.
