In September 2024, the CDTI (Center for Industrial Technological Development of Spain) carried out the audit of the 4th and last milestone of the project “QHealth: Quantum Pharmacogenomics applied to aging”. On September 13, 2024, the CDTI has issued the “Acta de Comprobación y Liquidación” (Verification and Liquidation Report) of this audit, thus formally closing the intense work carried out in QHealth during 2023. As part of this audit, the completeness of the results accumulated over the 3.5-year duration of the project was also assessed and the successful completion of the QHealth project has been certified.

The CDTI audit of the last milestone of the QHealth Project has assessed very positively the technical results and the good management of the budget of 1,464,581.00 euros corresponding to the year 2023. Once again, the project has successfully passed the annual CDTI audit.

As in the previous milestones, during 2023 the research activity was characterized by a high degree of innovation and invention to achieve the objectives of applying quantum computing in a practical way to pharmacogenomics, something that has been possible thanks to the scientific and technological collaboration of the multidisciplinary teams of researchers and technologists of the Consortium formed by aQuantum (by AlhambraIT), Gloin and Madrija, and of the Knowledge-generating Centers: INUBEUniversity of Castilla La Mancha (UCLM) and the University of Extremadura (UEx).

The project “QHealth: Quantum Pharmacogenomics applied to aging” has a total budget of € 5,160,477.00 and has received a grant from Misiones 2020 program of the CDTI of € 3,671,281.69, and has been supported by the Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación and by the ERDF (European Regional Development Fund).

QHealth: Quantum pharmacogenomics applied to aging” was the first major Spanish research project on quantum computing applied to life sciences to receive funding from the CDTI (Centro para el Desarrollo Tecnológico Industrial).

Congratulations to the more than 70 researchers and technicians who worked on the technical project between August 1, 2022 and December 31, 2023 for the excellent results obtained in the CDTI audit of the last milestone (2023) and for the spectacular closing of the project!
