Moderna Partners With IBM Hoping AI Can Help Develop More mRNA Medicine

Vaccine maker Moderna and computing giant IBM are teaming up to explore how quantum computing and artificial intelligence can develop future mRNA medicines, both companiesModerna has partnered with IBM to develop new medicines.Moderna said the deal will help the company “explore next generation technologies” like artificial intelligence and quantum computing to advance and accelerate its mRNA research.

mRNA, or messenger RNA, are a group of small molecules that shuttle genetic information from the DNA in cells to cellular machinery that makes proteins, a process companies like Moderna are trying to exploit to create new drugs and vaccines. Darío Gil, senior vice president and director of IBM Research, said the AI systems will help scientists gain a better understanding of “how molecules behave” and could even help create completely new ones.

Moderna said the collaboration will focus on optimizing its lipid nanoparticles, the fatty bubbles used to deliver mRNA to its target in the body. Quantum computers are built using a very different set of physical principles to classical computers and can perform tasks they are unable to do or at a much greater speed.Moderna chief executive Stéphane Bancel said the company is “aiming for breakthrough advances with quantum computing” and is investing now to build a “quantum-ready workforce.

mRNA is a failure!!!

Why the focus on mRNA? Why not other tech?

Because it's worked so well already
