Collaborations
As an NSF funded AI institute housed between UIUC, PSU, and RIT, MMLI serves as a nexus for collaborations with top researchers in the fields of molecule discovery and artificial intelligence. Opportunities such as symposiums, retreats, and quarterly meetings (for Partner level partners) serve as networking opportunities to learn more about how MMLI can help you and your company. When you are ready to formally engage in a collaboration with a member of MMLI, contact Sabrina (abdulla3@illinois.edu) or Ron (rpayne@illinois.edu).

- Does your company offer field trips or tours? We can arrange a trip for interested MMLI trainees to visit and see what it is like on the Industry side of research.
