ByteDance AI Drug Discovery Unit Anew Labs Presents Pipeline at Immunology2026 and Deep Learning Events – News and Statistics – IndexBox

May 3, 2026

ByteDance, the Chinese owner of TikTok, is advancing its artificial intelligence capabilities through Anew Labs, a drug-discovery unit that has started showcasing its AI-designed therapies at global conferences. This information comes from a report by the South China Morning Post.

Anew Labs, also referred to as Anew Therapeutics or ByteDance AI Drug Discovery, operates facilities in Shanghai, Singapore, and San Jose, California. Its official website lists 36 core members and a scientific advisory board that includes Liu Yongjun, former president of Innovent Biologics; Ji Ma, a former principal scientist at Amgen; and Hua Zou, scientific director of protein chemistry at Takeda California.

In mid-April, Chris Li, head of biology at the unit, presented one of Anew Labs’ four pipeline drug candidates at Immunology2026 in Boston, an event organized by the American Association of Immunologists. That treatment was created using generative AI for certain autoimmune diseases.

She Yuli, head of data, attended the International Conference on Learning Representations in Rio de Janeiro in late April, according to a LinkedIn post. That conference focused on advancements in deep learning.

Yu Haoyu, head of computational chemistry, stated on LinkedIn that he would be in Barcelona, Spain, for the 2026 Free Energy Workshop, which begins on May 4 and is dedicated to AI chemistry. He planned to present AnewSampling, a framework designed to reproduce molecular dynamics at the all-atom level.
