Our Vision

A catalytic research cluster whose primary objective is to establish a durable, integrated discovery ecosystem that unites synthetic chemistry, laboratory robotics and automation, machine learning, and cancer biology.

Key Initiatives

Establish an integrated design-make-test-learn discovery framework

Enable adaptive, systematic, rapid cross-laboratory research innovation

Catalyze durable interdisciplinary collaboration

Our Fundamentals

Interdisciplinary

Integrates four fields of research into a unified discovery framework, complemented by expertise in core fields of research

Translational

Applying AI to drug discovery and development while addressing clinical needs in cancer biology

Inclusion

Diverse team of researchers with equitable access to knowledge and opportunities while reducing health inequities

Impact

Driving advances in Canadian health, energy, and technology alongside the development of broadly enabling methodologies

SYNERGY

Organizational Structure

SYNERGY's membership consists of diverse researchers and trainees from UBC Chemistry, UBC Pharmaceutical Sciences, UBC Medical Genetics, and BC Cancer Research Centre (BCCRC). Team members and collaborators will lend their expertise to ongoing projects and collaboratively develop new projects to advance our design–make–test–learn framework.
