What's new at ReactWise

1536.

“I’d love to use data-driven optimisation, but I don’t have the coding skills.”

The biggest product improvements rarely look shiny…

What if your machine learning model could ‘see’ chemistry like a chemist? The secret isn’t more data - it’s smarter descriptors.

We’ve just launched our new homepage for ReactWise! 🚀

From Lab Intuition to Machine Learning Algorithms: ReactWise’s Playbook for Faster Reaction Optimization

„Ich würde gerne datengetriebene Optimierung nutzen, aber mir fehlen die Programmierkenntnisse.“

I used to think our competition was another startup. I was wrong.

The most expensive mistake in the lab is a result you can’t explain afterward.

Today the hidden bottleneck isn’t experiments - it’s interpretation

In process development, the best optimization method is useless if the team can’t actually use it

Good optimization feels less like finding an answer and more like navigating uncertainty.

The most underrated skill in AI-driven R&D is knowing when not to automate

Process Optimization in 2026: Data, Sustainability, and Robustness

What surprised me most when watching chemists use AI - without us guiding them

Most ‘autonomous lab’ projects fail before the robot even moves.

Machine learning is only as good as the data behind it - at ReactWise we have taken this into our own hands.

In 2026, the competitive advantage will come from AI that actually runs end-to-end. From data to decision to execution.

We’re entering an era where “more data” is no longer an advantage - unless the workflows are ready for it.

Traditional Bayesian optimisation starts from zero every time. MemoryBO doesn’t.

Transfer learning is where Bayesian optimization gets interesting

What if chemical procedures worked like code? Think GitHub for chemistry.

Is the peer-review process slowing science down?

Chemical process development is evolving fast, and optimisation is no longer guesswork but a guided, data-driven strategy.

I learned something this year that every founder eventually discovers: you can’t scale a company if you don’t scale yourself.

Most high-volume HTE datasets stop at medicinal chemistry. We’re building the ones that take you all the way to process R&D and manufacturing.

Classrooms teach frameworks. Startups teach reality. Bringing both together? That’s where the real learning happens.

Why start from scratch with Bayesian optimization for every new reaction?

Every lab wants AI but few are ready to leverage its full potential and the reason has nothing to do with AI.

Automated Synthesis Forum 2025 is underway - Day 1 in London!

A quiet revolution is coming to CDMOs - it’s driven by data and it will decide who wins the next decade.

Big milestone for ReactWise - we’ve officially moved into our own office!

ReactWise Co-Founder Dr. Alexander Pomberger Speaks at “AI for Science: From Scientist to Founder” Panel

The future of chemical development won’t be defined by single answers - but by probability distributions

4 cities. 37 face-to-face meetings. 7 weeks on the road. And a reminder that the best insights don’t live in slides, but in lab visits.

When working with Bayesian optimization there’s a common misconception amongst first-time users:

One year ago, ReactWise was just an idea in a YC batch - today, it’s powering labs across the world.

In a world of endless Zoom calls, being in the same room still matters

Automated experimentation still needs human hands

What if the biggest bottleneck in CMC isn’t the chemistry - but the coordination?

The East Coast is lined with innovation hubs - next week we’ll meet clients, collaborators, and innovators in New York and New Jersey.

What if the real bottleneck in mRNA medicines isn’t discovering new payloads… but building the right delivery vehicle?

Many of you use it every day - but have you ever wondered how High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) was born?

We’re excited to share that ReactWise will be exhibiting at Future Labs Live USA this October!

I wish someone had told me this when I was a chemistry student…

What’s faster than Bayesian Optimization?

ReactWise is hitting the road – and we want to meet you!

Biotech Without Borders: ReactWise Joins the Conversation in Honduras

It was a real pleasure speaking at the 5-HT Innovators Club this week and introducing ReactWise and our MemoryBO technology.

CDMOs face challenges that go far beyond optimizing a single step for yield and purity.

The origins of Bayesian Optimization don’t lie in chemistry - they lie deep underground.

Every great product starts with a conversation - and some of the most valuable ones happen on-site, not online

Flow chemistry or HTE? When machine learning enters the lab, the 'best setup' isn’t one-size-fits-all.

A primary motivation behind launching ReactWise was to reduce the time between discovery and delivery of life-saving medications to critically ill patients.
