However\, as a state-owned special purpose company\, CSC has been tasked to support scientific computing in Finland by providing high-quality computing\, data management and support services for research\, education and innovation. Thus\, CSC operates in close collaboration with universities\, state research institutes and companies\, with our primary aim being to help researchers focus on science while we take care of the required computing infrastructure. In this talk\, I will present CSC’s activities as a key service provider in the field of computational science in Finland and Europe. In line with the scope of this seminar series\, I will in particular highlight the ways in which we support chemistry and AI\, including examples of related projects in which we are involved. These activities extend beyond simply providing the required computing infrastructure\, as our role in collaboration projects is often related to ensuring efficient implementation and deployment of software and workflows on cutting-edge HPC platforms. Enabling researchers to use our resources as efficiently as possible is also the most important driver of our everyday support services. \nAbout the speaker\nRasmus Kronberg works as an application specialist at CSC – IT Center for Science\, the high-performance computing (HPC) center of Finland. At CSC\, Rasmus focuses on supporting researchers and company R&D professionals in using the Finnish supercomputing infrastructure\, as well as the pan-European supercomputer LUMI. Rasmus has a doctorate in computational chemistry from Aalto University and has authored multiple scientific articles within the areas of computational electrochemistry and -catalysis.

SUMMARY:AI in CHEM Seminar Series: Drug Discovery with Heikki Käsnänen (Orion Pharma)
DESCRIPTION:This talk is part of the “AI and Machine Learning in Chemical Research and Industry” Seminar Series organized by the Aalto University School of Chemical Engineering. It is open to all members of the public. Registered students in course CHEM-E4190 can also obtain 1cr by attending the seminars and completing the assignments. \nDate and location\n\nWednesday 26 February 2025 @ 13:15-14:00\nA304 Ke2 lecture hall in the main building of the School of Chemical Engineering\, Kemistintie 1\, 02150 Espoo.\n\nAgenda\n\n13:00-13:15. Setup and brief info for the registered students.\n13:15-14:00. Seminar by Heikki Käsnänen\, lecture hall A304.\n14:00-onwards. Coffee\, netwoking and mingling in the lobby adjacent to the lecture hall.\n\nSeminar info\nTransforming Drug Discovery: From Computational Tools to Model-Driven Innovation \nHeikki Käsnänen\, Orion Pharma \nThe pharmaceutical industry is undergoing a paradigm shift in how computational methods and models are integrated into the drug discovery process. Historically\, these tools played a supportive yet impactful role\, assisting chemists and biologists in decision-making and innovation. Today\, advancements in predictive and generative AI/ML\, the scaling of physics-based methods\, and the emergence of active learning are propelling us toward a future of truly model-driven drug discovery. This talk will explore how virtual DMTA (Design\, Make\, Test\, Analyze) cycles\, accelerated by AI/ML\, are transforming R&D workflows\, enabling faster and more efficient exploration of chemical space. It will also discuss the challenges and opportunities in scaling physics-based methods for broader applicability and how active learning can enhance the adoption of slower but more accurate computational approaches. While the vision of fully model-driven drug discovery is not yet realized\, this transition marks an exciting new era for innovation and impact in the pharmaceutical industry. \nAbout the speaker\nDr. Heikki Käsnänen describes himself as a digital drug hunter\, working at the intersection of computation\, chemistry\, and biology. He currently leads a research group at Orion Pharma\, focusing on hit discovery and the application of computational chemistry and AI/ML methods in small molecule drug discovery. Heikki holds a Master’s degree in Pharmacy from the University of Kuopio and completed his PhD in Computational Medicinal Chemistry under the guidance of Professor Antti Poso. In 2011\, while finalizing his doctoral studies\, he was invited to join Orion\, where he has since gained over a decade of experience in small molecule drug discovery\, with a particular focus on oncology and pain targets. Since 2020\, Heikki has led the Molecular Prospecting and Modeling unit\, driving innovation and advancing model-driven discovery alongside a talented team of colleagues.
