SEACHEM MSCA network logo INCLUE MSCA network logo
Technical Details

Course Outline

  • Delivered to the SEACHEM and INCLUE MSCA doctoral networks: a 4-hour course across 3 modules, from clean data to deployed AI tools.
  • Module 1 - Data Cleaning: building a clean data foundation through collection, standardization, and unit and naming harmonization.
  • Module 2 - Data Analysis: EDA and multivariate analysis (PCA), the supervised ML workflow, and models for yield, failure rate, and root-cause analysis.
  • Module 3 - Cheminformatics: turning molecules into descriptors and fingerprints for QSAR/QSPR/QSRR property and retention-time prediction, with applicability domain.
  • Outcome: researchers able to build reproducible ML pipelines from clean data.

Secure Document Intelligence

An AI platform for querying confidential document archives such as regulatory dossiers, contracts, technical reports, with answers that stay verifiable, traceable, and fully inside your network.

Technical Details

Implementation Specs

  • Data sovereignty: documents are indexed and queried by a local LLM, with no content ever leaving your infrastructure.
  • Encryption: disk-level encryption (LUKS / AES-256), mutual-TLS between services, and vault-managed key rotation.
  • Access control and traceability: role-based permissions (RBAC) with SSO and MFA, enforced per document collection, plus an immutable, audit trail.
  • Input and stack integrity: Secure Boot / TPM verification, cryptographically signed updates, and document sanitization against prompt injection.
  • Compliance by design: aligned with GDPR (verifiable right-to-erasure), NIS2, and ISO/IEC 27001.
  • Scalable and modular: from a single GPU workstation to high-performance servers, with every component upgradable independently.

Testimonials

We organized an “AI for Chemistry” workshop by ChemCoreAI as part of the training for PhD students involved in our MSCA doctoral networks we coordinate. I also attended the workshop myself as a researcher and non-expert in AI and machine learning techniques. Elena found a good balance between providing sufficient background information for non-experts and avoiding too many technical details. The higher-level AI concepts were well documented and illustrated with interesting examples, making them easy to understand and applicable to other research domains. I left the workshop with many fresh ideas that I can apply to my own research. I highly recommend this training to anyone working with, or aiming to implement AI and machine learning techniques for experimentation and data treatment!
