 ===== What is the BioPACIFIC MIP Machine Assisted Product Screening (MAPS) Tool? =====
-Content to come...
+The MAPS tool bridges an unexplored gap between synthetic biology and chemistry to enable researchers to search for bio-derived polymers through knowledge retrieval and ML-driven monomer prediction. This tool gathers information about chemical compounds in the natural product space to evaluate them for their potential as polymer building blocks.
+\\
+\\
+This tool solicits knowledge via an intuitive user interface (Fig 1) from a wide range of domain experts to gain insights about which chemical properties make for a good monomer.

+The MAPS tool is available as a web application and will soon be available as a mobile application for iOS, available through the App Store. Users of the MAPS tool must have a registered BioPACIFIC MIP user account (see: **[[portal-intro|portal]]**) and, for the mobile application, will need to validate their credentials via ORCID.
