Exscientia, an innovative company at the forefront of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven drug discovery, is delighted to announce that its Chief Executive Officer Andrew Hopkins has been named Chemistry World ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’. Chief Technology Officer Jérémy Besnard also won the ‘Rising Star in Industry’ Award at the Chemistry Means Business 2017 Awards, hosted by the UK Royal Society of Chemistry in Manchester this week.

Jérémy and I are thrilled to have been given these prestigious awards from the Royal Society of Chemistry. This is great recognition of the world-class science we have developed at Exscientia; and the exciting progress this science has enabled us to make in accelerating the drug discovery process in many disease areas. I am particularly pleased for Jérémy, a co-inventor of the original Exscientia technology, therefore his award is richly deserved.

The Chemistry Means Business Awards are an annual flagship event for the industry, which bring together start-ups, small and medium enterprises, multinational organisations, and academic entrepreneurs from across the UK and Europe to celebrate the achievements of the industry’s most innovative key players.

Award winners are chosen by a panel of senior scientists and industry executives and selected for their contribution to innovation and commercial success.
