CAREERS CONTACT Solutions & Products Learn Build Company Get Started LIFE SCIENCES Quantum in Life Sciences Drug discovery is a high-risk, high-reward field, where a blockbuster therapy can deliver life-changing clinical benefits to millions of patients and generate billions of dollars in profit—but more than 90% of new drug development efforts ultimately prove fruitless. Quantum computing can help pharma and biotech companies to stack the odds in their favor. Download Our Quantum in Life Sciences Overview Delivering Real Business Value Today Large pharma companies like GlaxoSmithKline and emerging biotech companies like Menten AI are already exploring how D-Wave quantum hybrid technology can enable faster and more efficient computer-aided drug design. Quantum computing can also contribute to other scientific and operational aspects of the life sciences industry, offering a way to replace inefficient trial-and-error processes with an automated, engineering-based approach. CASE STORY Menten AI Battles COVID-19 with Quantum Peptide Therapeutics Using hybrid quantum applications, Menten has been able to solve astronomical protein design problems. They’ve seen extremely encouraging results, with hybrid quantum procedures often finding better solutions than competing classical solvers for de novo protein design. Read the Case Story Unlock Your New Competitive Edge Quantum computing has the potential to radically impact life sciences and healthcare. The most forward-thinking organizations have already gotten started. Industry associations like the Pistoia Alliance and QuPharm are working to advance this transformation. According to industry associations, 82% of life science organizations agreed that quantum computing will have a commercial impact within the next decade. Read the Survey Built for Optimization Across the Value Chain Quantum computers, especially quantum annealing systems like D-Wave’s, are well-suited to deliver optimal solutions to combinatorial optimization problems with large numbers of variables and constraints. These powerful computing capabilities can potentially be leveraged to tackle thorny problems at many stages of the drug development process. This includes crunching ‘big data’ from clinical studies to guide precision medicine efforts for various diseases or identifying and optimizing chemical compounds with promising therapeutic properties.
