Quantum biotech is about transforming health, sustainability & medicine. Together we’re building tools to:
- Detect disease earlier
- Enable sustainable solutions
- Shape next-gen technologies
#QuantumInnovation
What future applications of quantum biotech excite you most?

Across our three theme sessions - Molecules, Cells & Brain - researchers showcased cutting-edge work:
🔹 Quantum microscopes
🔹 Optical tweezers
🔹 Nanothermometers
🔹 Neural sensors
Plus we heard amazing 3MT pitches, poster presentations, outreach demos & AI ethics panels!

We kicked off with our Director’s Welcome, followed by keynotes on diamond-based quantum sensing in biological systems & tissues, and a thought-provoking plenary on artificial and biological networks.
