About the Symposium

Where computation meets the clinic

QxBio is PHP’s annual gathering of researchers working at the convergence of quantum, AI, and the life sciences. Over three days at The Harker School in San Jose, senior PIs, postdocs, graduate students, and high-schoolers share the same room, the same posters, and the same lunch table.

The format is deliberately compact — short talks, dense poster sessions, structured discussion — so collaborations form faster than they would over a year of email. Last year saw 2,500+ scientists across 18+ publications in the resulting network.

Tracks

What we’re looking for

Computational Oncology

Predictive models of cancer progression, metastasis, and treatment response — bridging mechanistic biology and data-driven inference.

Quantum × Life Sciences

Quantum algorithms applied to molecular dynamics, protein folding, and high-dimensional biological inverse problems.

AI for Translational Research

Generative and discriminative models that compress the lab-to-clinic timeline — from biomarker discovery to clinical decision support.

Education & Mentorship

Bringing high-school, undergraduate, and graduate researchers into the same room as senior PIs — the QxBio signature.

FAQ

Frequently asked

Who can submit an abstract?

High-school, undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral researchers, as well as faculty and industry scientists. The presenting author must attend the symposium in person.

What's the abstract word limit?

250–400 words total across Background, Methods, Results, and Conclusion. The submission form counts words live as you type.

When will I hear back?

Acceptance notifications go out by July 24, 2026. Selected presenters will then be invited to submit a full poster PDF (Stage 02) by August 15.

Are there registration fees?

Registration details and travel guidance are shared after abstract acceptance. PHP covers travel for a number of selected student presenters — those decisions are made on a case-by-case basis.
