At the Chemistry Center of the Venezuelan Institute for Scientific Research (IVIC), a team of researchers is developing a pioneering project that applies supersymmetric algebra and the Schrödinger equation to characterize cancer cells

The team is led by doctors Jesús Galíndez, Eloy Sira and mathematician Jonathan Guédez, as reported by the Minister of Popular Power for Science and Technology, Gabriela Jiménez, through her Telegram channel.

“The objective of the project is to generate effective solutions for the health sector that allow oncologists and specialists in the field to attack only malignant cells, without damaging healthy tissues, thus optimizing treatments such as nuclear magnetic resonance,” Jiménez explained.

He also asserted that this project is essential for Venezuela, since quantum physics is revolutionizing medicine on a global scale. “A commitment to medical precision based on theoretical physics!” , he said.

Jiménez highlighted that, thanks to technologies such as quantum computing and quantum sensors, it is now possible to identify molecular targets, design new drugs, improve early diagnosis and personalize treatments with unprecedented efficacy.

He added that, in addition, the team is developing other lines with a direct impact on cardiology and pneumology, such as blood flow simulations with SPH and fractal modeling of pulmonary arteries. “These studies not only position Venezuela on the map of scientific innovation, but they also demonstrate how physics and mathematics can save lives,” he said.
