The medical field’s first quantum computer, due for completion in early 2023, is an important part of a decade-long partnership between the two organizations, which aim to harness high-performance computing to fundamentally advance biomedical research. becomes part. Announced in 2021, the Cleveland Clinic-IBM Discovery Accelerator (
https://my.clevelandclinic.org/research/computational-life-sciences/discovery-accelerator ) combines the medical expertise of the Cleveland Clinic with quantum computing. A collaborative center that combines IBM technology expertise, including leadership in
Lara Jehi, M.D., Chief Research and Information Officer, Cleveland Clinic, said: “The current speed of scientific discovery is
unacceptably slow, while our research needs are growing exponentially. Quantum mechanics, especially in drug discovery and machine learning, offers a future that will change the speed of this R&D.”
Dr. Ruoyi Zhou, Director of IBM Research – Cleveland Clinic
Partnership, said: “A major shift in the way and the way we solve scientific problems is on the horizon. We are more ambitious than ever to usher in a new era of accelerated discovery in healthcare and life sciences by creating communities that generate lasting discoveries.” The Cleveland Clinic’s Discovery Accelerator addresses many of IBM’s latest advances in high-performance computing, including:
Generative Toolkit for Scientific Discovery
(https://github.com/GT4SD): Leverage this AI-powered technology, and other generative modeling capabilities, to infer knowledge gaps, formulate hypotheses, and ultimately We aim to speed up the research process in discovering therapeutic drugs and biomarkers.
RXN ( https://rxn.res.ibm.com/ ): This cloud-based platform combines AI models with the ability to directly control a robotics lab to design new chemicals end-to-end and can be synthesized.
Deep Search ( https://www.research.ibm.com/covid19/deep-search/ ): Use this next-generation AI tool to derive insights from large amounts of structured and unstructured technical literature I can.
High-Performance Hybrid Cloud Computing Technology: This technology allows researchers to “burst” their workloads to the cloud and access the resources they need at scale.
The Discovery Accelerator is part of the Cleveland Innovation District ( https://www.jobsohio.com/news-press/cleveland-innovation-district/ ) at the Cleveland Clinic’s Global Center for Pathogen Research & Human Health (https://www.jobsohio.com/news-press/cleveland-innovation-district/) (http://www.lerner.ccf.org/pathogen-research/ ). The center, backed by a $500 million investment from the State of Ohio, Jobs Ohio and the Cleveland Clinic, brings together teams focused on research, preparation and prevention of emerging pathogens and virus-related diseases. . Through Discovery Accelerator, researchers are harnessing advanced computational techniques to accelerate critical research into therapeutics and vaccines.
The two teams have already launched several joint projects that leverage this new computing power. Discovery Accelerator projects include research to develop quantum computing methods for screening and optimizing drugs targeting specific proteins, improvement of cardiovascular risk prediction models after non-cardiac surgery, and genome sequencing using AI. These include studies that search results and large drug target databases to discover existing drugs that are effective in helping patients with Alzheimer’s disease and other diseases.
A key part of this partnership is its focus on educating future workers and creating jobs to grow the economy. An innovative education that provides training and certification programs in data science, machine learning, and quantum computing for participants from high school to professional level to develop the skilled workforce needed for future cutting-edge computing research. A curriculum

About the Cleveland Clinic
The Cleveland Clinic ( https://my.clevelandclinic.org/ ) is a non-profit, comprehensive university medical center that integrates clinical and hospital care with research and education. Located in Cleveland, Ohio, the center was founded in 1921 by four eminent physicians with a vision of providing superior patient care based on the principles of collaboration, compassion, and innovation. The Cleveland Clinic is home to many medical breakthroughs, including coronary artery bypass surgery and America’s first facial transplant. tab ). The Cleveland Clinic is consistently named one of the nation’s best hospitals in the annual “America’s Best Hospitals” survey by U.S. News & World Report. Of the 72,500 Cleveland Clinic employees worldwide, more than 5,050 salaried physicians and researchers and 17,800 registered nurses and advanced practice practitioners (APPs) are It represents 140 medical professionals and sub-professionals. The Cleveland Clinic includes a 173-acre main campus near downtown Cleveland, 22 hospitals, and a 6,500-bed medical facility that includes more than 220 outpatient facilities, as well as facilities in northeastern Ohio, southeastern Florida, Las Vegas, Nevada, We have offices in Toronto, Canada, Abu Dhabi, UAE and London, UK. In 2021, there will be a total of 10.2 million outpatients, 304,000
hospitalizations and observations, and 259,000 surgeries across all Cleveland Clinic medical facilities. Patients come for treatment from every US state and 185 countries. For more information about the Cleveland Clinic, please visit clevelandclinic.org (
