Scientific and technological advances in medicine and systems biology haveunequivocally shown that health and disease must be viewed in the context ofthe interplay among multiple molecular and environmental factors. Understandingthe effects of cellular interconnection on disease progression may lead to theidentification of novel disease genes and pathways, and hence influenceprecision diagnostics and therapeutics. To accomplish this goal, the emergingfield of network medicine applies network science approaches to investigatedisease pathogenesis, integrating information from relevant Omics databases,including protein-protein interaction, correlation-based, gene regulatory, andBayesian networks. However, this requires analysing and computing large amountsof data. Moreover, if we are to efficiently search for new drugs and new drugcombinations, there is a pressing need for computational methods that couldallow us to access the immense chemical compound space until now largelyunexplored. Finally, at the microscopic level, drug-target chemistry simulationis ultimately a quantum problem, and hence it requires a quantum solution. Aswe will discuss, quantum computing may be a key ingredient in enabling the fullpotential of network medicine. We propose to combine network medicine andquantum algorithms in a novel research field, quantum network medicine, to laythe foundations of a new era of disease prevention and drug design.
