040 QDX: Drug Discovery via Hyperscale hardware, AI and Quantum Molecular Dynamics

One North Stories

This is One North Stories, an A*START CENTRAL Podcast

Making the previously impossible, possible. Loong Wang joins to share about QDX. The Singapore based start-up is has built a massive compute platform leveraging hyperscaler level hardware for quantum molecular dynamics. They predict and model how molecules move and interact through time and space.

The first application is drug discovery. They use AI to screen billions of candidate compounds down to thousands or hundreds. Then, their quantum mechanical computation comes in, modeling the physical interaction of the protein and small molecule. The whole point is to ‘rapidly’ screen potential candidates so physical experiments can focus on the most promising candidates as early as possible.

Loong and QDX are just getting started. They would love to grow and become the largest private drug company in the world.

Beyond drug discovery, the QDX platform can help anyone who needs to know how molecules interact, including material science. QDX is open to collaboration and getting the tool into the hands of the community.
