Quantum Click: Next-gen Virtual Screening for Drug Discovery

Inventor(s): Michele Pavanello, Xuecheng Shao, Alessandro Genova

Awarded: October 2022

Summary:

Quantum Click is a software capable of formulating new drug candidates by screening billions of compounds virtually. Due to the exceptionally high accuracy, Quantum Click provides robust predictions of drug candidate-protein target interactions. These are very important quantities that need to be optimized in the process of computationally aided drug design (CADD). The technology is based on state-of-the-art machine learning and electronic structure methods that once combined deliver a highly accurate method that is still computationally feasible for CADD studies.

Market Applications:

• Non disease-specific drug design
• Drug-protein interaction modeling
