    SINGAPORE, 24 July 2026 - ChemT Biotechnology has been named an awardee of the Data & AI Fueling R&D of Tomorrow QuickFire Challenge: Singapore & Beyond, an initiative by Johnson & Johnson focused on advancing innovative approaches that harness data, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to transform drug discovery & research

    As part of the award, ChemT will receive grant funding and mentorship from Johnson & Johnson, as well as virtual membership in the JLABS Singapore network. This opportunity provides ChemT with access to a global innovation ecosystem as the company continues to develop AI-driven solutions for one of the most critical and challenging areas in biomanufacturing: understanding and modulating cellular behaviour towards optimizing manufacturing processes.

    The award comes as ChemT continues to expand the development and application of CelMo™ across different cellular systems and biomanufacturing workflows. By combining virtual cell modelling, perturbation prediction and de novo small-molecule design, CelMo™ shows how AI can shift biomanufacturing from empirical optimisation to tunable cellular control, improving yield, shortening timelines, enhancing scalability and reducing cost.
