To mark the 10th anniversary of Weixin Computing, we cordially invite all WeMol platform users and pharmaceutical R&D experts to gather in Shanghai for the inaugural Intelligent Technologies in Drug Discovery Forum and WeMol User Conference, to be held on November 8, 2025. With the theme “A New Paradigm for AI-Driven Drug Discovery: From Technology Leadership to Value Creation,” the event will feature presentations by numerous distinguished guests showcasing real-world user case studies, a focused exchange on cutting-edge applications of AI-assisted drug discovery, and an exploration of innovative R&D models that integrate computational and experimental approaches. Zhang Yingbo, Head of the Biotechnology Division at Shanghai Hycells, has also been invited to attend this conference.

Shanghai Hycells Biotechnology Co., Ltd., as a key upstream partner in the AI-driven drug discovery field, leverages a PBMC sample bank comprising over 1,000 Chinese and international donor samples. In collaboration with WeMol’s next-generation AI-based drug design and computational platform, the company employs a dual strategy of AI prediction combined with in vitro experimental validation to efficiently assess the immunogenicity risk of drugs. From subtype-specific PBMCs and pre-screening of donors to its proprietary DC cell induction kit, Hycells not only provides highly precise R&D materials but also continuously expands the scope and depth of immune assessment. With its unique integrated strengths, Hycells is driving the deep integration of AI into drug discovery, delivering tangible value to its partners.

Compliance‑driven traceability establishes a clear “identity” for the product, but the real test lies in safety. While a multi‑donor pooling strategy ensures batch‑to‑batch consistency, it also inevitably elevates the risk of pathogen introduction. In the face of these associated risks and challenges, Heyousheng has never compromised on its manufacturing standards—relying on more precise design to deliver on its promise of enhanced safety.
This article will examine how He Yousheng proactively integrates the quality management system into the hospital setting, translating compliance requirements into concrete, actionable practices starting at the sample collection stage, thereby establishing a trust‑based chain that can withstand audit scrutiny.
In selecting hPL raw materials, Heyousheng consistently upholds the principle that “safety is determined at the source.” The samples used in production are rigorously collected in accordance with applicable standards and undergo stringent donor screening, effectively mitigating the risk of disease transmission at the very outset. Moreover, from informed consent forms and ethical approvals to clinical‑grade collection under the GCP framework, Heyousheng has established a fully traceable documentation chain, ensuring that every sample is accounted for and verifiable. In contrast to the industry’s longstanding reliance on the conventional model of using expired blood supplies from blood banks, this approach represents a structural, generational upgrade.
Recently, the research team led by Researcher Bian Yingjie at the Guangzhou National Laboratory, in collaboration with partners from Sun Yat-sen University, published a study titled “Iron overload in the tumor microenvironment induces CD8⁺ T cell ferroptosis and dysfunction” in the internationally renowned academic journal Nature Communications.
