Eneplus Biotech and Guangdong University of Technology Launch Joint Laboratory to Advance AI-Driven Botanical Innovation

EnePlus Biotech is pleased to announce the official launch of its joint industry–university laboratory with Guangdong University of Technology (GDUT). This collaboration marks a significant step forward in the precision development of high-performance botanical actives, combining molecular imprinting technology with AI-powered ingredient discovery and optimization.

EnePlus Biotech and Guangdong University of Technology officially launch their joint laboratory, advancing AI-driven botanical innovation.

When rare plant actives are embedded in complex matrices, traditional R&D often struggles with low efficiency, long development cycles, and uncertain outcomes. The new joint laboratory aims to overcome these challenges, establishing a full-chain innovation pathway from proof-of-concept and fundamental research to pilot-scale validation and scalable production.

Key capabilities enabled by the AI-integrated platform include:

• Rapid identification of efficacy-driven plant actives

• High-precision virtual screening across complex plant matrices

• AI-based prediction of ingredient synergy, solubility, and stability

• Selective enrichment and purification of target actives

• Shortened development timelines with reduced translational risk

  
  

  

AI-powered platform for high-precision virtual screening and prediction of plant active compounds.

"Through this partnership, we are advancing a new era of botanical innovation, where deep research, intelligent design, and natural complexity come together to create efficacy-driven solutions," said Mr. Xian Chen, R&D director at EnePlus Biotech.

The joint laboratory leverages GDUT's deep expertise in complex-system target capture and AI-driven ingredient development platform, providing an end-to-end pipeline for botanical innovation. By integrating molecular imprinting technology with AI, the laboratory can selectively enrich and purify low-abundance functional compounds, achieving >98% purity while optimizing performance and scalability.
