This promising\, new technology could simulate larger\, more complex molecules\, and could simultaneously review multiple molecules\, proteins\, and chemicals – all of which is currently unachievable with a standard computer. Quantum simulations could also hold potential to be able to replace laboratory experiments\, reduce the cost of research\, and minimize the need for human and animal testing. \nQuantum Computing (QC) could be game-changing for the healthcare industry\, but there are always potential positives and negatives to any new technology. While QC could drastically accelerate research and development and could give scientists the ability to solve previously unsolvable problems\, we must also educate ourselves on the potential risks around cybersecurity\, ethics\, errors\, and more. \nAgenda: \n11:00 AM Opening Remarks \n11:05 AM Overview of Quantum Computing \n11:15 AM Quantum Computing Applications in Drug Discovery \n11:25 AM Panel Discussion \n12:00 PM Q&A \n12:30 PM End of Broadcast \n  \nSpeakers: \nPeter Clark\, PhD \nHead\, Computational Science & Engineering\, Janssen BioTherapeutics \nPeter leads a dynamic\, interdisciplinary team of scientists focused on accelerating the research and development of protein based therapeutics through the design and implementation of disruptive computational approaches and platforms. Prior to joining Johnson & Johnson\, Peter served as the Director of Bioinformatics at the University of Pennsylvania\, Perelman School of Medicine\, where he worked closely with academic and commercial collaborators on the design\, optimization\, and evaluation of various gene therapy platform technologies from early research and development through commercially partnered IND enabling clinical studies. Peter’s diverse expertise in computational science\, engineering\, clinical molecular genetics\, computational biology\, and translational research has led to the publication of over 30 peer-reviewed scientific publications as well as two book chapters\, several issued patents and three biotechnology spin-off companies. \nMore speakers to be announced!
