arXiv:2607. 00464v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Current molecular generation benchmarks emphasize task complexity, molecule novelty, and property alignment; they largely overlook a critical concern: the potential safety risks of AI-generated molecules.

arXiv:2606. 03435v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cell Painting combines multiplexed fluorescent staining, high-content imaging, and quantitative analysis to generate high-dimensional phenotypic readouts to support diverse downstream tasks such as mechanism-of-action (MoA) inference, toxicity prediction, and construction of drug-disease atlases.
MolSC is a new dataset of 181,000 substituent-level examples that captures how attaching specific substituents to molecular scaffolds changes properties such as bioactivity and physicochemical descriptors. The authors also provide MolSC-Bench, a held‑out benchmark of 1,541 examples that are disjoint from MolSC at scaffold, substituent, and molecule levels. Experiments show that training molecular large language models on MolSC markedly improves their ability to predict substituent contributions, outperforming existing models on a range of downstream chemistry tasks.
arXiv:2607. 25322v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal drug discovery enables drug representation learning beyond chemical structure by incorporating cellular responses such as gene expression and cell morphology.
arXiv:2606. 05693v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise for molecular property prediction, but their ability to reason over chemical structures remains limited, as molecular representations such as SMILES differ substantially from the natural language on which LLMs are primarily trained.
MolEmb is a lightweight framework that adapts multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to serve as general molecular embedding models. By aligning molecular profiles with textual descriptions in a shared embedding space using a bidirectional contrastive objective, MolEmb produces embeddings conditioned on both a molecular profile and a natural‑language semantic context. The model performs competitively on molecular property prediction and enables cross‑modal molecule‑text retrieval, while the newly introduced MolCAR benchmark demonstrates that context‑aware molecular embedding is largely a data property of the supervision.

The paper introduces NSA-Bench, a public benchmark for predicting nano self‑assembly (NSA) between molecular pairs, framing it as a binary classification problem. It presents NSA‑Net, a multimodal learning framework that fuses graph topology, sequence semantics, and physicochemical descriptors to predict self‑assembly, achieving high ROC‑AUC scores and outperforming existing baselines. The study also demonstrates how NSA‑Net’s predictions can guide experimental formulation refinement through an NSA‑Agent case study.
