How is academia fostering research that later turns into startup companies? What are new computational powers bringing to in silico drug design? And what is MoveableType methodology and why should pharma be excited about it? We will learn those answers and more in this episode with Lance Westerhoff, President and General Manager of QuantumBio. QuantumBio is a biotech startup operating in the vast field of drug discovery and molecular design. As President and GM, Lance oversees QuantumBio’s day-to-day management including the research, development, and deployment of advanced technology, as well as strategic partnerships and business development. Lance earned his PhD in Chemistry at Penn State University, and he is an entrepreneur, computational biochemist, and published scientist with projects involving the synergistic application of quantum mechanics and molecular mechanics in the life and pharmaceutical sciences. QuantumBio recently earned a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the NIH to run calculations for their MovableType methodology research, which they will be working with Oracle on that research project, and we talk about that and much more in this episode.
