Center for AI Biomedicine

The Center for AI Biomedicine at Shanghai Jiao Tong University is a flagship research initiative under the Zhangjiang Institute for Advanced Study. The Center is dedicated to pioneering the integration of artificial intelligence with biomedical science, aiming to address grand scientific challenges in drug discovery, protein engineering, and disease mechanism elucidation.

Built upon the advanced algorithmic expertise of the Institute of Natural Sciences, and strengthened by the application scenarios and experimental platforms provided by the International Center for Deep Life, the School of Pharmacy, the School of Life Sciences and Biotechnology, and the Institute of Translational Medicine, CAIB leverages the computational infrastructure of the Shanghai AI Laboratory to create a cross-disciplinary innovation ecosystem.

In close collaboration with Ruijin Hospital affiliated with SJTU School of Medicine and the CAS Center for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science, the Center promotes translational research that bridges basic science and clinical application. By uniting experts from computer science, AI, life sciences, chemistry, pharmacy, and medicine, CAIB is advancing general-purpose bio-intelligent systems to empower the next wave of biomedical innovation.

Looking forward, the Center aims to become a globally recognized academic hub and innovation powerhouse in AI-driven biomedicine, enhancing Shanghai Jiao Tong University's influence in the life sciences and contributing to the transformation and upgrading of the biomedical industry in China and beyond.
