| Apr 7, 2026 | 🎉 Our work CAML (A Conflict-Aware Molecular Language Model Merging Framework for Multi-Constraint Molecular Generation) is accepted to ACL 2026 main conference! 🧬🤖. We introduce a novel game-theoretic framework that uses SACMA-ES to find the Nash Equilibrium among expert models, resolving property conflicts efficiently without re-training. |
| Apr 1, 2026 | 🎉 Our latest multidisciplinary work, “AI Identifies Compounds that Protect Retinal Ganglion Cells and Optic Nerve in Neurodegeneration by Alleviating ER Stress,” is currently under review at Nature Communications. In this study, we developed an AI-driven pipeline utilizing ImageMol, a visually pre-trained molecular representation model, to discover neuroprotective agents targeting ER stress for glaucoma. By virtually screening over 10,000 clinically tested compounds, we successfully identified and experimentally validated two candidates (leonurine hydrochloride and chlorogenic acid) that preserve retinal ganglion cell (RGC) viability and improve visual function in vivo. This provides a scalable, mechanism-specific framework for drug discovery in neurodegenerative diseases. |

| Aug 30, 2024 | 🎉 Our paper “DeepAMP A Foundation Model Identifies Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Peptides against Drug-Resistant Bacterial Infection” is published in Nature Communications! In this study, we developed deepAMP, a peptide language-based deep generative framework designed to expedite the discovery of potent, broad-spectrum antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). By employing a novel sequence degradation strategy and multi-stage fine-tuning, we identified 29 high-potential candidates. These peptides proved effective in treating P. aeruginosa skin wound infections in mouse models with excellent biocompatibility. |
| May 5, 2024 | 🎉 Our work HydrogelFinder (A Foundation Model for Efficient Self-Assembling Peptide Discovery Guided by Non-Peptidal Small Molecules) is accepted to Advanced Science. By leveraging non-peptidal small molecules to guide chemical space exploration, we’ve achieved a rapid 19-day workflow from generation to wet-lab validation. 🧪 Our model successfully identified 9 novel self-assembling peptides (1-10 amino acids), including the shortest lipid-peptide documented to date. |
