Which field do you think will change the most over the next 10 years?

Quantum Biology DAO @quantumbiodao.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

🎉 We’ve passed 1,000 subscribers on the Quantum Biology DAO's YouTube channel! It’s been amazing to see more people discovering quantum biology, following the research, and getting curious about where this field could go. Let’s keep growing the quantum biology community!

Should one “no” be the end of a research idea? Things like philanthropy, crowdfunding, research prizes, private investment, and DeSci can give scientists more ways to find support. The point is not to replace traditional grants. It’s to make sure there is more than one way to get a yes.

The science of quantum biology is one thing. The bigger question is what we may eventually be able to do with it. In our latest video, we take a high-level look at where quantum biology could eventually intersect with different industries.

What if biology is missing part of the picture? We still have a great deal to understand. But if quantum effects really do play a meaningful role in these systems, they may give us a new way of looking at health, disease, and life itself.

Let's talk about Tubulin. Tubulin helps your cells divide, organize, transport materials, and respond to change. It is the building block of microtubules, one of the cell's most important structural systems. But could some of the physics happening within these structures involve quantum effects? ⬇️

A new UC Berkeley preprint studied CRY4, a protein linked to bird magnetoreception, and found that blue light triggers a series of structural changes in the protein. The idea: radical-pair chemistry happens first, then the protein changes shape in ways that could help pass that signal along.

Quantum biology doesn't need to *replace* biology... Most biological processes can already be explained well through chemistry, genetics, physiology, and cell biology. Quantum biology asks whether, in some cases, a specifically quantum effect is actually part of the mechanism.
