Qubit Pharmaceuticals is French-American deeptech startup, focussing on discovering novel small molecule drug candidates for complex disease targets deemed ‘undruggable’. Using our proprietary cutting-edge technologies, we develop our own drug discovery programs that we either co-develop with or license out to pharmaceutical companies. We leverage proprietary molecular simulation and quantum-physics based modeling technology based on over 30 years of research by our academic founders
Qubit Pharma uses a hybrid of classical and quantum computing approach to design more effective and safer drugs, aiming to significantly reduce the time and investment needed to discover new drug candidates. In less than 18 months, Qubit Pharmaceuticals grew its drug discovery portfolio to 6 programs in oncology, inflammation & antivirals leveraging its proprietary platform, Atlas.
Drug discovery through simulation and modeling requires unprecedented computational capabilities beyond the petaflop, or more than one million billion operations per second. Qubit Pharmaceuticals, a deeptech company, has worldwide access to existing and emerging supercomputers with one of the largest private GPU supercomputers for life sciences in France. Our in-house platform Atlas integrates advanced simulation technologies that run on these supercomputers to accelerate calculations by a factor of 100 000, thus performing calculations in a few hours versus over a year's time. These simulations, along with optimized small molecule identification strategies and in-house experts in computational and medicinal chemistry, will allow several chemical series to be explored in parallel.
Qubit Pharmaceuticals is looking for a Senior quantum HPC software engineer to develop and maintain the Hyperion quantum emulator.
