We’re excited to announce the launch of the BioMap Bio-Computing Innovation Accelerator Program – BioMap BioX. This beneficial initiative will nurture local scientific innovation teams and attract global innovators, starting from Hong Kong, to promote the development of the global AI for life science ecosystem. BioX will focus on four key industries: - Pharmaceuticals and health - Green technology - Industrial innovation - Consumer product innovation Are you a researcher, scientist or entrepreneur in these fields? In this unique programme, you will be able to take advantage of BioMap’s expert technical support and build connections with global companies and investors in the life sciences and bio-computing sectors. Don’t miss this valuable opportunity to fast-track your project’s transition from early-stage research to marketable products and industrial-scale companies. Apply here: https://buff.ly/3VS90sU

Our platform makes a wide range of AI models available to customers to utilise for optimisation of their biologics. In addition, customers can upload their own data to the platform to further fine-tune the models for their own research – creating custom models that benefit from the extensive data held within our large language models. #Technology #Innovation #AI #data #LargeLanguageModels #Research

We are delighted to announce that the Hong Kong Investment Corporation Limited (HKIC) has signed a strategic partnership agreement with BioMap, underscoring a significant commitment to transforming Hong Kong into a leading international bio-computing innovation hub. The strategic partnership agreement was signed by Ms Clara Chan, CEO of HKIC, and Mr Wei Liu, Co-Founder and CEO of BioMap, witnessed by Mr Paul Chan Mo-po, Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong SAR Government, during a ceremony at the inaugural "International Bio-Computing Innovation Summit" on Monday 24th June. #BioComputing #AI #LifeSciences

On Monday 24th June, BioMap hosted the first "International Bio-Computing Innovation Summit" in Hong Kong. The event featured keynote speeches and panel discussions with industry experts, including senior executives from multinational pharmaceutical companies Sanofi and Eli Lilly China, green technology companies LanzaTech and Syngenta, and an academic expert from Rutgers University, USA. We enjoyed sessions covering a wide range of fascinating topics, such as accelerating new drug development to improve human health and advancing green technology innovation for global sustainable development. Thank you to all our speakers for sharing your expertise and insights! Maria Wendt, Marilene Pavan, Kevin Donohue, Ryan Wang, Sagar Khare, Wei LIU, Per Jr. Greisen & Le Song. And thanks to all our partners, supporters and attendees – we hope to see you all again soon! #BioComputing #AI #LifeSciences

BioMap is committed to supporting the development of a thriving bio-computing ecosystem in Hong Kong. As an important step towards this endeavour, we are delighted to announce that we are launching an Innovation Hub. Through this initiative, we will be offering preferred access to our cloud-based AI Generated Protein (AIGP) capabilities to scholars, students, and early-stage partners in Hong Kong at no cost, aiming to expedite the transition from concept to product and commercialisation. In partnership with global pharmaceutical companies, funds, and universities, we plan to launch an innovation accelerator to provide selected early-stage projects with access to funding, technology, education, mentoring and global business resources. The goal is to nurture and accelerate the growth of frontier discovery companies to stimulate innovation and the generation of IP in Hong Kong. The Innovation Hub will be launched at the Bio-Computing Summit on 24th June. Further details will be announced at the event – join us there! https://buff.ly/4b5nJ9u #AI #BioComputing #BioEngineering #Innovation #HongKong

We’re pleased to share that a new paper, co-authored by Dr. Le Song, Chief Technology Officer and Chief AI Officer at BioMap, has been published on Nature Methods.   Here’s a summary: Developing foundation models for deciphering the ‘languages’ of cells and facilitating biomedical research is promising yet challenging. Here we developed a large pretrained model scFoundation, also named ‘xTrimoscFoundationα’, with 100 million parameters covering about 20,000 genes, pretrained on over 50 million human single-cell transcriptomic profiles. Experiments showed the large-scale model’s merit as a foundation model that achieved state-of-the-art performances in a diverse array of single-cell analysis tasks such as gene expression enhancement, tissue drug response prediction, single-cell drug response classification, single-cell perturbation prediction, cell type annotation and gene module inference.   Click here to read the paper: https://lnkd.in/eyhrg35D
