QDX, a leading computational drug discovery company, has announced a collaboration with Prelude Therapeutics, a clinical-stage precision oncology firm, to target previously undrugged oncology targets.
QDX leverages its advanced quantum mechanical simulation technology, supercomputing, AI, and deep expertise in drug discovery to push the boundaries of computational chemistry and drug development.
Peggy Scherle, PhD, CSO of Prelude, stated, "Computational drug discovery is showing great promise. We are excited to partner with QDX’s talented team, combining their high-performance computing, quantum simulations, and AI to tackle these historically challenging targets."
Loong Wang, Co-Founder and CEO of QDX, expressed, "We are excited to collaborate with Prelude to pioneer new advances in these programs. This partnership exemplifies QDX's commitment to bespoke collaborations across academia and industry, utilizing our cutting-edge quantum technology, supercomputing, and AI systems."
Kelvin Neu, MD, Co-Founder and Chair of QDX, added, "Prelude's accomplished biology and chemistry teams have developed a productive pipeline of small molecules targeting crucial and challenging oncology targets. QDX has built a powerful platform by integrating complementary disciplines, guided by practical drug discovery needs, especially in traditionally difficult areas. We are honored to support Prelude on these targets and anticipate a fruitful collaboration."
