At present, biological computing is an important opportunity period for technological acceleration, rapid demand growth, and rapid industrial development. The continuous improvement of artificial intelligence algorithm capabilities has allowed the industry to deeply understand that AI+pharmaceuticals have achieved the development of leaping from perception to design creation. "WAIC2022 · Shanghai Biological Computing Forum" was held in the Zhangjiang Science Hall on September 2.

Shanghai has a solid biopharmaceutical industry foundation and rich artificial skills and technical resources. Relying on strong domestic market and significant policy advantages, biological computing development prospects are broad. Essence

在这场由上海市生物医药产业促进中心、上海市人工智能行业协会、机器之心发起并联合主办的论坛上，来自加拿大皇家科学院、上海市生物医药促进中心、北大、微软、华为、BioMap、 The hearts of the molecules, the Tianyang XLAB, Jingtai Technology, Huashen Zhiya, Liantuo Biological and other institutions, universities, technology and pharmaceutical companies, sharing and discussing the development trends and challenges of biological computing.

AI protein discovery and design take advantage of the trend

"AI+Biomedical" ushered in a large number of test opportunities

Protein is an important life substance that constitutes cells. The application scenario of protein preparations is wide. It can be used for treatment of diseases such as cancer and hypertension. It also has important applications in industrial, materials, food, agriculture and other fields. However, the mechanism of protein molecules is complicated. It is difficult to develop protein products in traditional drug research and development models, and industrialization is slow.

Under the outlet of the intelligent era, AI protein discovery and design rose to become a hot track of global attention. In the field of innovative drugs, the AI+pharmaceutical model is expected to shorten the drug development and application cycle and reduce the cost of capital. However, there is currently no complete AI protein design and optimization platform in China. The molecular heart -based protein -based protein molecular discovery, optimization and design platform "MoleculeOS" fills this gap.

Xu Jintbo was hailed by the industry as "the founder of AI protein folding technology", and the founder and chief scientist of the current element. At the scene, he conducted a special report on the title of "New Progress of AI Protein Research" and shared the advanced technology progress of biological computing. "Now through AI technology, it can greatly improve the protein structure prediction." Xu Jintbo said, "In the past few years, more and more developers have used AI to study protein -related problems."

From the new crown small molecular drugs to the development of antibody drugs and vaccines, AI technology has helped the research and development of a number of new drugs. Academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences, ACM Fellow, IEEE FELLOW Li Ming conducted a special report on the title of "Irself Discovery and Testing and Testing and Testing and Testing and Testing the New Antigen, sharing the advancement of biological computing cutting -edge technologies.

Zhang Jiang has hatched new AI pharmaceutical project

In the post -epidemic era, can "AI+Biomedical" maintain a strong development momentum and what challenges and opportunities will face? Tang Jun, deputy director of the Shanghai Biomedical Promotion Center, Liu Tieyan, an outstanding chief scientist of Microsoft, Deputy Dean of the Microsoft Institute of Asia, and head of the Asian District of the Microsoft Research Institute, and Peng Jian, the founder of Huashen Zhiyao, launched a round table dialogue to discuss the key Technological innovation and breakthroughs, explore a new model of biomedical research and development, and look forward to the development trend of "AI+Biomedical".

Tang Jun said that the addition of AI technology has reduced a large number of new drug research and development work. "Some judgments can go to the stage of candidate drug screening in advance. This is very meaningful and it is very supportive for the pharmaceutical industry. It takes hundreds of millions of dollars to develop medicines. If the problem can be solved in the front link, the money will be saved, and the time will be saved. It may bring disruptive changes to the biopharmaceutical and chemical pharmaceutical industries. "

The reporter learned that many companies in Zhangjiang Science City are using artificial intelligence to carry out the research and development of life technology. For example, ISM001-055 developed by Yingsilian Intelligent Company's new drug fibrosis project entered clinical trials, completed the first clinical administration of health volunteers in Australia, becoming the world's first new newly discovered by artificial intelligence-driven. New drugs for targets and new molecular structures.

At the forum, industry experts revealed that the equipment for automated research was also continuously incubated in Zhangjiang.

Gao Yinqin, a professor at the School of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering of Peking University, deputy director of the Ministry of Sciences at Peking University, Song Le, chief AI scientist BIOMAP, Wang Zidong, MindSpore, MindSpore. President Lu Cheng, the person in charge of the Tianyang XLLAB Miao Hongjiang and the CEO of Jingtai Technology, Ma Jian, and other guests made a wonderful speech on key issues such as protein design, molecular simulation, quantitative science and other new drug research and development.

In the future, the forum will continue to create an "AI+Biomedical" innovation ecosystem, drive the innovative development of the biomedical industry, release new kinetic energy in the biological computing industry, and realize the two -way empowerment of AI and biomedicine.
