Quantum Informatics for Novel Therapeutics: AI-Enhanced Cybersecurity and Data Science for Next-Generation Healthcare

Quantum informatics for novel therapeutics is a field-guide to the new healthcare stack—where quantum computing, AI, cybersecurity, and biomedical data science converge to change what we can discover, protect, and deliver. It takes readers from the essentials of qubits, quantum algorithms, and quantum biology to practical applications across protein structure prediction, biologics engineering, mRNA design, small-molecule discovery, epidemiological intelligence, and clinical trial innovation.

Quantum computing’s prowess comes from its ability to represent and process many possibilities at once through superposition and entanglement—making it uniquely suited to the combinatorial scale of chemistry and biology. As quantum hardware advances, hybrid quantum-classical workflows and quantum machine learning promise sharper molecular simulations, faster optimization, and new ways to navigate therapeutic search spaces that overwhelm classical methods.

This contributed volume blends visionary roadmapping with implementation-ready thinking: how to build reliable pipelines, secure sensitive health data in a post-quantum world, and translate quantum-AI insight into decisions that matter in the lab, the clinic, and the supply chain. If you want a clear view of what’s next—and how to lead it—this book is your launchpad.

Don Roosan, PharmD, PhD, stands at the intersection of two worlds: the urgency of clinical pharmacy and the limitless potential of quantum computing. As faculty at Merrimack College, he is an international leader bridging these fields to accelerate therapeutic discovery. His work utilizes quantum-enabled biosimulation to deepen our understanding of genomics, translating complex data into patented, next-generation diagnostic tools. As a scholar-practitioner, Dr. Roosan turns abstract research into concrete healthcare innovations. He further shapes the global conversation as the author of the internationally acclaimed book humAIn, a forward-looking exploration of how we can co-evolve with AI to create a better and productive world.
