Chemistry shapes our modern lives – from medicines and plastics to cosmetics and cleaning products. Yet many of the substances that make daily life easier also pose risks to human health and the environment. This is where Stefan Wagner’s international research project SUSTECH – Accelerating Sustainable Technological Trajectories comes in. The project investigates **why hazardous chemicals often reach the market faster than safer alternatives** – and how this can be changed. An interdisciplinary team combines cutting-edge methods from artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computational chemistry **to identify hazardous substances early** and promote sustainable alternatives.
