Tx for the reply. With often not ideal research progress page. When you gonna do these talks . When you ask about the workunits . Could you ask about some estimate the workunits they got in plan for NOW ? Would give us at least some rough estimate how much work is left to do :)

Thanks for this update, and for the renewed effort to keep volunteers informed with short communication bursts on the forums. Helps everyone stay engaged and determine how to distribute our computing resources.

We had a quick call with the OpenZika researchers today.
They're working on another paper, which they are planning to submit for publication this month. They're in the very early stages of evaluating potential new targets--more news in the coming months if this pans out. |

We had our monthly call with the researchers today.
1. They are working on another paper, with additional plans for 2-3 more. The first paper will probably be finished later this year, with the others coming later as the research progresses. 2. They've identified more potential compounds to test. Now they need to work on the purchasing process, which can take awhile. We'll have more information about this on a later formal update. 3. They're continuing to look for additional collaborators to help with the project. 4. They are submitting a grant proposal to the National Institutes of Health--everyone please wish them luck! |

Thanks for the update!
When you say they will work on the purchasing process, you mean they will perform in-vitro tests, based on the calculation results ? |

They're working on purchasing the actual compounds, which can be a lengthy process. Once the compounds are purchased, shipped, and received by their lab, then they can start the testing.

Just finished our monthly call with the researchers.
1. They're creating more work units to be sent to WCG. 2. They've sent some compounds to a collaborator to test. We'll keep everyone updated as this progresses. 3. They're discussing analyzing Zika proteins with a collaborator in Boston. |
