NIH and NASA advance quantum-enabled sensing through QuSAFE Challenge
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and NASA are collaborating on the QuSAFE Challenge to advance quantum-enabled sensing for in vitro NAMs, including organoids and microphysiological systems (MPS). The challenge focuses on predictive preclinical toxicity and safety, aiming to improve drug safety while reducing animal use.

What to know
- 01
The QuSAFE Challenge is a collaboration between the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and NASA.
- 02
It advances quantum-enabled sensing for in vitro NAMs, including organoids and microphysiological systems (MPS).
Why it matters
The challenge links quantum-enabled sensing with in vitro methods aimed at improving drug safety and reducing animal use, rather than announcing that these goals have already been achieved.
