Fraunhofer Institute for Translational Medicine and Pharmacology ITMP

In an increasingly complex and data-driven world, the need for innovative solutions for process optimization is growing. The Hamburg Fraunhofer Institutes (Fraunhofer CML, IAP, IAPT and ITMP) are working together to address relevant industrial applications with quantum computing.

Fraunhofer ITMP uses quantum computing to accelerate fundamental phases of drug research. In a video and a white paper, we explain the basics and how we have used quantum algorithms to better predict the molecular properties of drug precursor molecules.

Today's groundbreaking ceremony for the new Fraunhofer ITMP building in Penzberg marks a significant step forward in immunology and pandemic research. In close collaboration with our partners Roche, LMU Klinikum Munich, and Ludwig Maximilian University (LMU), we are creating a state-of-the-art research center that will develop innovative therapies and diagnostic systems. The new building will be an important location for research in the fight against infectious diseases and will provide space for future-oriented projects that strengthen the health of people and society.

The SLAS Europe Conference and Exhibition took place in Hamburg for the first time – and Fraunhofer ITMP was there with a diverse program. Dr. Philip Gribbon, site manager of Fraunhofer ITMP Hamburg, opened the conference in his capacity as SLAS president. With presentations, poster sessions, a technology showcase in its own laboratory, and a panel discussion, Fraunhofer ITMP played a key role in shaping the event. Hamburg proved itself to be a strong science location – SLAS will return to the Hanseatic city in 2027.
