Mines protein-interaction and other high-dimensional biology data with its own models to find drug targets others treat as undruggable, then runs its own small-molecule and antibody programmes. Its GROOVY platform found the target behind GW-01, a Notch-pathway inhibitor now in Phase I; ACUMEN maps pairs of neighbouring cell-surface proteins for bispecifics and NEXUS looks for tumour neoantigens.

undisclosed; PEdaily says the company has raised several hundred million yuan so far this year
For: developing the AI target-discovery platform and its outside collaborations, the Phase I study of GW-01, and preclinical work on new programmes
Models and platformToward the clinic
The company announced it through PEdaily, which quotes founder Xu Li and four of the investors. The body gives no round size, only that the company has raised several hundred million yuan so far this year; PEdaily's own 'investor reading' box calls it a Pre-A of several hundred million yuan, which the announcement itself does not say, so no amount is recorded here. No valuation. No company website was found, so the English name here is the pinyin of the Chinese one; EqualOcean rendered it Groovy Medicine when it reported the 2023 angel round, which is not recorded here.
