Welcome to CBBio@MPU! We are dedicated to advancing computational biology to deepen our understanding of biomolecular systems and to enable discovery across the health and life sciences. By integrating biological insight with AI-driven methods, we address challenging questions at the interface of computation and biology.
In drug discovery, our research spans method development for peptide and small-molecule drug discovery and property prediction, from target identification, lead discovery to (bio)synthesis prediction. Current projects focus on antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), anticancer peptides (ACPs), antioxidant peptides (AOPs), bacterial targets (TxSS), and cancer targets (TROP2 and HER2).
In health sciences, we work on medical imaging diagnosis, with a particular focus on infectious diseases, as well as spatial gene expression prediction from histopathological images for cancer research.

Congratulations to Xiangyu on the publication of the new work in Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence! In this paper, the team proposes CrossToGene, a bidirectional cross-modality interaction framework for predicting spatial gene expression from histopathological images. The method introduces spatial encoding to capture both macro/micro tissue cues, a bidirectional cross-modal interaction module for stronger fusion…
