The health of body,
nature, and mind.

AI can harm or heal — the algorithm and the hands using it decide which. My work is to make sure it heals, by holding the molecule, the plant, and the contemplative tradition together.

See the work

Health is not one thing. It is three things, held together.

The body heals when its chemistry is understood.

Nature heals when its wisdom is remembered.

The mind heals when its traditions are preserved.

Modern medicine treats these as separate departments. I don't. Each venture is one leg of the same stool — remove any one and it falls.

Ainnocence uses AI to design molecules that heal the body. Wisdom Health formulates plant medicines that honor nature's harmony. Sarasvatī preserves the contemplative traditions that keep the mind — and the algorithms we build with it — oriented toward what is worth healing.

Underneath all three sits one belief: AI can harm or heal. A tool is only as wise as the hands and the tradition holding it. The molecule needs the plant. The plant needs the mind. The mind keeps the AI honest.

Meet

I'm Dr. Lurong Pan

Computational chemist by training. Founder of three ventures by conviction. I build at the intersection of science, nature, and contemplative tradition — because none of them is enough on its own.

By day I lead Ainnocence, where our protein foundation model (AINN-P1) has produced picomolar antibodies on 15 of 40 validated targets. By evening I formulate herbal blends for Wisdom Health, grounded in sixteen years of Chinese materia medica study. And in the hours between, I steward Sarasvatī — an eight-branch open archive of Buddhist canon and a runtime Buddhist AI Charter, so the next generation of models carries contemplative restraint in its algorithms.

You cannot heal the body without honoring nature, or honor nature without caring for the mind. Three ventures. One project.

The work

The work

Body. Nature. Mind.

Each venture addresses one dimension of health. Together they answer the question that drug discovery alone cannot: what is health actually for?

Body · Chemistry

Ainnocence — AI for Drug Discovery

Our protein foundation model (AINN-P1) designs picomolar antibodies and small molecules against disease targets. Energy-efficient. Sequence-first. Wet-lab validated. 15 of 40 targets, 6 at single-digit picomolar — the chemistry that keeps the body intact.

Nature · Harmony

Wisdom Health — Plant Medicine

Synergistic herbal blends built on sixteen years of Chinese materia medica, formulated for chronic conditions and healthy aging. Not a replacement for molecular medicine — a complement to it. The oldest pharmacopoeia on the planet, read with modern discipline.

Mind · Tradition

Sarasvatī — Canon & AI Charter

An eight-branch open archive of Buddhist canon in Chinese, Tibetan, Sanskrit, Pāli, Khotanese and more — paired with a runtime Buddhist AI Charter (10 principles + 5 refusals) that teaches models restraint. Because the mind needs its traditions, and the algorithms need their ethics.

The thread

Speaking & writing on where the three threads meet

AI, drug discovery, Chinese medicine, Buddhist ethics for machine learning. The through-line is always the same — technology serves healing, or it doesn't deserve to be built.

The AI question

A tool cuts both ways.

AI can design a drug that saves a million lives. It can also design a weapon that ends them. The algorithm doesn't choose — the people who build it do, and the people who deploy it do. That is why the work spans all three fronts: the molecule, the plant, and the contemplative tradition that keeps us honest about what we are building and why.

Technology without ethics is just leverage. Ethics without technology is just a sermon. The work is to hold both at once.

In their words

It is my pleasure to recommend Lurong Pan.

She has won a Merck Research Grant on Pandemic Preparedness in 2020 and succeeded in a tough competition.

Dr. Lurong Pan has been an outstanding mentor.

Her guidance helped me define research problems, stay focused, and make steady progress during my PhD. Her technical expertise in AI and computational drug discovery, along with her clear, insightful talks, significantly deepened my understanding of the field. I'm deeply grateful for her support, leadership, and volunteer mentoring.

Three ventures. One philosophy. Body, nature, mind.

If you're building at any of these intersections — drug discovery, plant medicine, contemplative AI ethics — I'd like to hear from you.
