AI Generation Era

AI generation era has come, this change will also shake the biomedical field, traditionally biomedical also need to use AI, but AI only play an auxiliary role, now generative AI will bring more opportunities for the biomedical field.

Pre-AI Era

Before 2000

  1. AI are under development
  2. Simulation algorithms have limited prediction accuracy

Initiation

(Data)

Traditional Biotech

Before 2000

  1. Lack of theoretical guidance
  2. Massive manual “trial and error”

AI Assistance Era

2010

  1. Single, annotated dataset
  2. Lack of connection between modals
AI 1.0

Assistance

(Commercial)

AI-assisted Drug Discovery

2010

  1. Rational design
  2. Small models
  3. High-throughput test

AI Generation Era

2023

  1. Massive unannotated dataset
  2. General artificial intelligence
  3. AI 2.0

Generation

(New-eco)

AI-generated Drug

2023

  1. Individualised design on demand
  2. Programme immune system
  3. Large models

Generative AI in Biopharm

Only AI can help us program complex living systems. Living systems are so complex that we cannot find a set of principles to program life precisely. But AI can solve this problem by discovering these implicit associations from. Meanwhile great progress has been made in the field of multimodality. And based on the fact that natural language programming is extremely accessible, it is now beginning to change the future of life sciences as well.

Hidden Patterns

  1. The complex patterns in life are difficult to summarise and generalise, requiring generative AI for application.
  2. Generative AI can directly apply hidden patterns that are difficult to illustrate.

Multi-modal Optimal

  1. Reject the risk of one-way “trial and error” search falling into local optimal solutions.
  2. AI considers multi-modal constraints and generates global optimal solutions.

User Friendly

  1. Easy to learn and more user-friendly for biologists than previous generations of AI.
  2. Transfer learning can be performed, making it easier to extend to multiple scenarios.

Proteins Match with Language Models

Proteins as the core language of the life sciences are naturally adapted to big models, and protein language corresponds to natural language in several structures. Once biologists have fully cracked the code of the protein universe, proteins with new, specialized functions can be generated with the assistance of generative AI. This will be a milestone in the field of synthetic biology and will revolutionize the history of the life sciences themselves.

BayVax: Protein Language in Immunity

But one big model can’t solve all the problems, the key lies in the model tuning in the segmentation field. Specifically, we apply the protein language of life sciences to immune discrimination, and we have built an exclusive immune design platform by simulating the classifiers of the human immune system itself, which gradually realizes immune system programming.

BayVax: Generator + Discriminator

We focus on immunogenicity prediction and immune-related model tuning and molecule generation. Currently our team has implemented a platform for generator+discriminator tandem generation of antigens and drugs.

BayVax Has Generated Cancer Vaccines

In addition, BayVax has achieved efficient generation of vaccines, which can be generated from a wide range of potential sequences for a particular antigenic epitope, and experimentally validated to stimulate an immune response.

AI-generated Drugs (AIGD)

Not only AIGC, we will use AI to be able to generate drugs, the AIGD market is huge, we are talking about gradually expanding from the $10 billion antigen design, to a broader market, and ultimately immune programming.
