As part of the collaboration, IBM will provide modern scientists with access to quantum computing systems, and they will learn how quantum computing technologies can be applied to problems that were previously intractable for classical computers.
Armonk, New York, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 20.4 - Moderna, a biotechnology company and pioneer in the development of vaccines using mRNA technology, and the computing giant IBM announced today a collaboration, in the framework of which IBM's advanced quantum computing and artificial intelligence technologies will be used by Moderna in order to promote and accelerate the The company's scientific research in the field of mRNA.
Quantum computing is a revolutionary technology that utilizes the principles of quantum mechanics to solve problems that the world's most advanced classical computers are unable to solve. As part of the collaboration, IBM will provide modern scientists with access to quantum computing systems, and they will learn how quantum computing technologies can be applied to problems that were previously unsolvable for classical computers and will explore the application of quantum approaches to modern scientific challenges. Moderna will also participate in the IBM Quantum Accelerator program - a technological accelerator designed to support companies that use quantum computing, and will also be included in the IBM Quantum Network - a network of companies and research institutes that share knowledge and experience gained in the use of quantum technologies.
Artificial Intelligence Models for Based Medicine m
As part of the collaboration, Moderna scientists and IBM researchers will be able to leverage MoLFormer - a fundamental artificial intelligence model (AI foundation model) that can help them predict the properties of a molecule, and can help them understand the characteristics of mRNA-based drugs. Moderna's goal will be to use MoLFormer to help optimize lipid nanoparticles, which wrap and protect the mRNA as it moves through the body, and the mRNA that acts as a command for cells to fight disease. Under this initiative, the two companies will combine the discovery of current formulations with the help of creative artificial intelligence to design mRNA drugs with improved safety and performance.
"Since the founding of Moderna, we have always strived to be at the forefront of the most advanced technologies, and to leverage the tools in our hands in order to achieve maximum impact on human society by developing mRNA-based treatments," said Stéphane Bancel, CEO of Moderna. "We are excited to join IBM in collaboration to develop state-of-the-art artificial intelligence models to promote mRNA technologies, and prepare ourselves for the era of quantum computing and technologies that change the known rules of the game. We strive for breakthroughs through quantum computing and therefore are now investing in building skilled teams so that we are fully prepared to harness the power of this technology."
"The collaboration with Moderna is an example of IBM's goal of making the world a better place," said Dr. Darío Gil, senior vice president and director of IBM's research division. "We are in the midst of a revolution in the world of computing, with artificial intelligence and quantum computing at its forefront. Moderna will be able to leverage the research resources in the field of creative artificial intelligence, on which we have worked for many years, in order to develop medicines and allow scientists to better understand the behavior of molecules - and even promote the creation of new molecules. We are also excited by the opportunity to make available to modern scientists the knowledge and use of IBM's leading quantum computing technologies, with the aim of accelerating scientific discoveries and producing new and revolutionary medicines."

One response
Recently, the field of computer science is exploding!
- Artificial intelligence is breaking into areas we didn't think was possible
- Quantum computers, which almost all of us (including experts) have no idea how they really work, are on the way to changing the world,
- Huge companies have announced the development of humanoid robots that will help us, for example, at home
Let's hope that our world will change mostly for the better and we won't destroy the earth faster with the help of all these amazing technologies.
Another thing, it's time for the anodes to grant basic rights to all animals in the world.
The freedom to run freely in a minimal space, the prohibition of abuse, the prohibition of mutilation, the prohibition of genetic improvement that harms the animals.
You can eat animals because that's how the world was created and we will also all die one day. But the animals must be given minimal rights throughout their lives.
