Welcome to the Quantum Drug Discovery for Alzheimer's Disease (QDD-AD) project, a part of the "Womanium Quantum Summer 2023 Program". Our goal is to harness the power of both classical and quantum computing to accelerate the process of drug discovery, focusing on Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors for Alzheimer's disease.
This repository aims to educate and attract as many people as possible towards the promising field of Quantum Technologies and Quantum Machine Learning. Feel free to fork, play around, learn, and contribute back!
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia, affecting millions of people worldwide. Traditional drug discovery methods are often time-consuming and costly. This project leverages Machine Learning, Bioinformatics, and especially Quantum Machine Learning to find AChE inhibitors efficiently, providing symptomatic relief for AD.
- Classical/ML model: Contains a Random Forest ML model which runs on classical computers.
- Quantum/ML model: Contains Quantum Machine Learning algorithms which are designed to run on Quantum Processing Units (QPUs).
- Dataset/Part 3: Contains the preprocessed dataset used for training both classical and quantum models.
