The SAB is made up of:

-- Dr Richard Bourne, Professor of Digital Chemical Manufacturing at the University of Leeds. He is a leading academic in Process Chemistry and brings considerable expertise in automated flow systems combining online analysis, feedback control and evolutionary algorithms to provide process understanding and optimisation. Richard is also Royal Academy of Engineering Research Chair working on Digital Discovery and Manufacturing of Pharmaceuticals.

-- Dr Nessa Carson, Principal Automation Scientist at Syngenta. She brings a wealth of practical experience in a range of automated synthesis and optimisation capabilities and their application in both discovery and process research.

-- Dr Natalie Fey, an expert in computational approaches as Associate Professor at the Centre for Computational Chemistry, University of Bristol. Natalie strengthens its commitment to utilising state of the art computational tools to enhance the efficiency of chemistry through effective use of data.

-- Dr David Parry, Head of Research at DeepMatter. David is an experienced synthetic chemist and technologist, with a track record of delivering complex projects within the pharma and biotech sector.
