AUDITORIUM MARGARITA SALAS

Overview

Sponsor: Euskadi


Details

Quantum technologies are rapidly evolving from theoretical promise to practical tools across biomedicine and biotechnology. Early applications in drug discovery, molecular simulation, quantum enhanced imaging, and secure data infrastructures are already underway, supported by hybrid quantum–classical approaches and pioneering industrial collaborations. This panel will bring together experts from quantum computing, biotechnology, diagnostics, and cybersecurity to explore near term opportunities and realistic pathways for adoption. Participants will gain insights into emerging use cases, regulatory considerations, and strategic actions enabling biotech and health organizations to prepare for the quantum decade ahead Why Quantum for Biotech Now? Quantum Computing in Biomedicine: Molecules, Models and Precision Medicine. Quantum Sensing, Imaging and Diagnostics: The Next Frontier. Quantum Biotech Industrial Collaborations and Biomanufacturing.
