This Project Grant award of $100,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) was provided to George Mason University to develop novel quantum algorithms for analyzing single-cell omics data. The project aims to build faster and more powerful computational tools for advancing the analysis of complex biological data, particularly from emerging single-cell studies, in order to accelerate scientific discovery. The work will formulate these computational challenges as optimization problems that can be solved using quantum annealing and gate-based quantum algorithms. The resulting quantum-enabled tools will be applied to real single-cell transcript data to improve cell clustering, comparative analysis, and modeling of cellular responses to drug treatments. The project also includes plans to publicly share the developed software tools and educational resources to help train the next generation of scientists in the intersection of biology, computer science, and quantum technology.
