COVID Moonshot: Can AI Algorithms and Volunteer Chemists Design a Knockout Antiviral?
COVID Moonshot: Can AI Algorithms and Volunteer Chemists Design a Knockout Antiviral?

https://weizmann-usa.org/news-media/in-the-news/covid-moonshot-can-ai-algorithms-and-volunteer-chemists-design-a-knockout-antiviral/

May 08, 2020... It started with a tweet. Alpha Lee, co-founder and chief scientific officer of machine-learning company PostEra, read on Twitter that Diamond Light Source, the UK’s national synchrotron facility, had identified a set of chemical fragments that attach to an important coronavirus protein.
Lee wondered if his company, formed just six months earlier, could help connect the dots from fragments to viable drugs to fight COVID-19. PostEra uses AI algorithms to map routes for drug synthesis to speed the drug discovery process. But to do so, they would need some design ideas. So Lee asked the Internet.

Coronavirus Pandemic Brings Home Need for Proactive Vaccine Strategies
Coronavirus Pandemic Brings Home Need for Proactive Vaccine Strategies

https://weizmann-usa.org/news-media/in-the-news/coronavirus-pandemic-brings-home-need-for-proactive-vaccine-strategies/

Apr 07, 2020... The outbreak of the novel coronavirus has triggered a paradigm shift in assumptions regarding vaccine development.
The pandemic has made it clear, to governments and big pharma alike, that dedicating significant resources to proactive vaccination strategies are key to save lives. Healthcare systems buckling under the strain of the coronavirus would simply collapse under the additional burden of a severe influenza outbreak.
