Qubit Pharmaceuticals is a French-American deeptech startup, focusing on discovering novel molecules for complex targets in healthcare and materials science. We leverage proprietary molecular simulation and quantum-physics based modeling technology to develop our own discovery programs that we either co-develop with or license out to pharmaceutical and industrial partners. This enables us to design more effective and safer drug candidates, aiming to significantly reduce the time and investment needed for discovery. In just 18 months, Qubit Pharmaceuticals grew its portfolio to 7 programs in oncology, immunology & antivirals.
Our cutting-edge technology is based on over 30 years of research by our academic founders, and relies on three main components: in-depth expertise in computational science and high-performance computing (HPC), quantum chemistry and artificial intelligence algorithms, and a powerful, automated cloud platform for molecular simulation with chemical accuracy. We recently announced the launch of the world's most powerful AI foundation model for molecular simulation.
