Dr Yolande Cordeaux acts as industry’s gateway to the department. Contact her to:

• Find an expert and make introductions (1:1 discussions or challenge-led workshops).
• Navigate internal and external funding opportunities.
• Connect with other departments and wider University initiatives such as Centres for Doctoral Training, Strategic Research Initiatives and Netowrks, and industry-academia hubs.
• Connect to the University of Cambridge dedicated technology transfer team at Cambridge Enterprise.

Yolande also organises and hosts a regular industry networking event - Chemistry Networks. The most recent of these in September 2019 focussed on AI & Machine Learning and attracted an audience of over 200 people, with delegates from around 50 companies. The event included speakers from industry as well as our own academics, applying AI & ML to various stages of the drug discovery process.
