SUMMARY:Quantum Computing for Drug Discovery and Medicine: Emerging Applica
 tions and Industry-Wide Opportunities -  - 17 Nov 26 10:00
DESCRIPTION:Quantum Computing for Drug Discovery and Medicine:\nEmerging Ap
 plications and Industry-Wide Opportunities\nTuesday\, November 17\, 2026\n
 \n10:00 a.m. -11:00 a.m. AZ | 12:00 p.m.-1:00 p.m. EST | Virtual\n\nRegist
 er NOW for FREE\n\nNOTE:&nbsp\; You will be required to establish a profil
 e in the BioNJ system to register.\n\n\n\nAZBio is pleased to share this o
 pportunity with AZBio Members courtesy of BioNJ.\n\nThe discovery and deve
 lopment of new medicines remain among the most complex and resource-intens
 ive challenges in healthcare. Quantum computing offers a fundamentally new
  approach to modeling molecular systems\, with the potential to accelerate
  drug discovery beyond the capabilities of classical methods.\n\n"Quantum 
 Computing for Drug Discovery and Medicine: Emerging Applications and Indus
 try-Wide Opportunities" provides an introduction to quantum computing — 
 what it is\, why it matters and how it works — followed by insights into
  IBM Quantum’s roadmap toward scalable\, utility-driven systems.\n\nAtte
 ndees will gain an overview of how quantum algorithms are being developed 
 for applications in quantum chemistry and optimization\, including emergin
 g approaches to studying molecular interactions and identifying novel ther
 apeutic candidates.\n\nThrough examples of industry collaborations and res
 earch initiatives\, the session will illustrate how organizations are begi
 nning to integrate quantum computing into innovation workflows today while
  preparing for larger-scale applications in the future. The talk concludes
  with a forward-looking perspective on how quantum computing could help sh
 ape the next generation of drug discovery and medicine across the broader 
 industry.\n\nThis virtual session is designed for a broad audience across 
 the healthcare\, life sciences and technology sectors\, including:\n\n 	Ph
 armaceutical &amp\; biotechnology professionals\n 	Startup innovators\n 	A
 cademic researchers\n 	Healthcare organizations\n 	Computational scientist
 s\n 	R&amp\;D leaders\n 	And business and technology strategists seeking t
 o understand the practical and future implications of quantum computing.\n
 \nNo prior quantum computing expertise is required.\n\nIBM Presenters:\n\n
 Gopal Karemore\, Ph.D.\n\nGlobal Quantum Lead\n\nHealthcare and Life Scien
 ces\n\nIBM Research\n\nDr. Karemore leads efforts to drive the adoption of
  quantum computing in life sciences and healthcare\, working with IBM team
 s and external partners to deliver high-impact solutions. Prior to joining
  IBM\, he held research and leadership roles at Novo Nordisk (Denmark)\, G
 E Research (India)\, Spanish National Centre for Cardiovascular Research (
 Spain)\, Danish Stem Cell Centre (Denmark)\, Novo Foundation Centre for Pr
 otein Research (Denmark)\, Fraunhofer Institute (Germany) and Penn Medicin
 e (USA).\n\nDon Grust\, MS\, MBA\n\nManaging Director\n\nQuantumToMarket\n
 \nMr. Grust is Managing Director of QuantumToMarket\, an advisory firm tha
 t helps companies commercialize their technology. He began his career at B
 ell Labs before joining the early wireless industry to pioneer and commerc
 ialize mobile enterprise software. This led to a series of executive roles
  at early stage companies\, including CEO of a successful venture-funded t
 urnaround. Mr. Grust founded the Quantum Driven New Jersey Meetup\, is hel
 ping to lead New Jersey’s initiative to develop a quantum strategy and i
 s an active member of the Quantum Economic Development Consortium.\n\nRegi
 ster today for this complimentary virtual session on November 17 and disco
 ver how quantum computing is opening new possibilities for drug discovery\
 , accelerating innovation and shaping the future of medicine. We look forw
 ard to having you join us!
