   Level 4 · Tested in the physical world

   Westlake University and DP Technology publish ProteinTalks in Nature, a virtual cell trained on drug-treated breast cancer proteomes whose drug picks were tested on three patients' organoids

   A virtual cell is only useful if its picks hold up in experiments nobody had run, and this one sent its picks to patient organoids, a step the Xaira, Arc and UC San Diego virtual cells on the record did not take. It is three patients, one cancer type and the authors' own labs, and the 501-patient survival split is retrospective. It is the first DP Technology research on the record.

   Research

   Level 3 · Checked against existing evidence

   RealPXRD-Solver, led by DP Technology, reads crystal structures off measured powder diffraction patterns, and solves 39 database entries whose structures had never been reported

   Powder diffraction is what a chemist gets when a new material will not grow a single crystal, and earlier AI solvers worked on simulated patterns and fell over on measured ones, where peaks overlap, crystals line up one way and impurity phases show up. Coupled to an automated refinement pipeline, the model determined the structures of 39 materials in the Powder Diffraction File that had carried a unit cell but no atomic positions since they were first reported, work that normally takes an expert weeks an entry.

Research entries are the timeline's graded entries that name this company. A level grades one claim, not the company, and a blank can mean the record has not caught up rather than that nothing was published.
