Diseases We Target

Diseases We Target

From rediscovering known drugs to exploring future therapeutics using quantum and AI.

At Astra Vida, we are on a mission to accelerate drug discovery by combining the power of quantum simulations and artificial intelligence. We begin by rediscovering known compounds to validate our pipeline and gradually extend to tackle high-priority and future diseases.

Currently Targeted Diseases

Malaria

Targeting Chloroquine and Artemisinin for high-burden regions in Africa and Asia.

Tuberculosis

Simulation of first-line drugs like Isoniazid and Rifampicin for resistant strains.

HIV/AIDS

Quantum-assisted analysis of Zidovudine (AZT) and future antiretrovirals.

Cancer

Studying Cisplatin and targeted therapies for breast and colon cancer models.

COVID-19

Exploring Remdesivir and Molnupiravir effects using Hamiltonian modeling.

Future Focus Areas

Neurodegenerative Diseases

Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s

Antibiotic Resistance

Superbug treatment modeling and next-gen antibiotics.

Neglected Tropical Diseases

Addressing drug gaps in leishmaniasis, schistosomiasis, and more.

Future Pandemics

Preparedness pipeline for future zoonotic outbreaks.

Why These Diseases?

Drug discovery currently costs $2.5B to $3B and takes up to 15 years per compound. Our platform drastically reduces simulation time using quantum-powered Hamiltonian modeling and AI-driven molecule selection — enabling faster and cheaper therapeutic research for high-burden and underfunded diseases.
