GalaxyVS, an AI virtual screening platform for ultra-large-scale drug discovery, was officially launched in Tianjin today. Built on the new-generation Tianhe supercomputing system, the platform can probe a near-100-billion synthesizable compound space and implements an end-to-end stack covering molecular representation, vector retrieval, diversity control, affinity re-ranking and large-scale task scheduling. The platform is positioned to provide a high-efficiency, high-precision, scalable foundational tool for innovative drugs R&D and was developed by an AI biomed team led by Meng Xiangfei, chief scientist at the National Supercomputing Center in Tianjin, and Lan Yanyan, professor at Tsinghua University’s Institute for Intelligent Industry.
