Vaccine Discovery for AIDS and Cancer Is No Longer a Distant Dream

The quest to develop vaccines for AIDS and cancer, two of the most complex and deadly diseases, has long tested the limits of medical science. But today, technology can help to solve these complex diseases, particularly with quantum computing and Artificial Intelligence (AI).   A study by University of Toronto scientists and Insilico Medicine, published in Nature Biotechnology, demonstrated how integrating quantum computing, generative AI and classical computing techniques enabled researchers to design molecules targeting KRAS ( mutated oncogenes). This cancer-driving protein was long deemed "undruggable." One of the biggest bottlenecks in traditional vaccine development is accurately predicting how a protein will fold or bind in a complex biological environment. However, q
