Welcome to Life Science and AI Lab

At LSAIL, we research and develop artificial intelligence that advances the life sciences and enhances the quality of human life. Our interests span a broad spectrum of AI, ranging from predictive and generative modeling to agentic frameworks built on large language models.

Research Area

What We Do

AI for Drug Discovery

Generative and predictive AI for molecular design, virtual screening, and candidate prioritization.

Integrative Data Science

Biological and biomedical data arise from diverse sources and experimental platforms. We study data integration methods that connect heterogeneous datasets and enable comprehensive understanding across modalities and scales.

Biology-aware AI

Life science data exist in many different forms. We develop biology-aware AI methods that incorporate biological structure and domain knowledge to build more meaningful, robust, and interpretable models for life science.

About the Lab

Computational Approaches for Life Science and Medicine

AI for drug discovery

From Biological Data to Therapeutic Insight

At LSAIL, we develop AI methods for drug discovery and computational biology. Our goal is to turn complex biological and biomedical data into actionable insight for understanding disease and designing better therapeutic strategies.

We study predictive and generative models, multimodal data integration, and biology-aware machine learning frameworks that reflect real biological context. Our work spans molecules, cells, patients, and the data that connect them.
