Just finished our call with the research team.
1. They have a good process established for analyzing compounds that look promising based on WCG results. They've sent a number of potentially interesting compounds to be analyzed by the collaborators at UCSD and in Brazil. 2. They're currently working on four different papers as well as a grant application. 3. Dr. Andrade is co-organizing a conference later this year--more info to come as the planning progresses. |

News from today's monthly call with the research team:
1. Some of the promising compounds they've been testing can be referred for further lab testing. This is very good news, and we'll let everyone know if this pans out. 2. They have purchased another round of compounds for testing. 3. They're continuing work on the papers mentioned last month. 4. Dr. Andrade and some of the members of her lab continue to work on organizing a large conference for later this year. |

Thanks so much for sharing, Caitlin ! We hope that the researchers really found potential candidates asap. Zika are growing up a lot in the world last year and this year, unfortunatelly specially in poor regions of Brazil !

Here's what we discussed during today's monthly call:
1. Testing has begun on one promising compound. They'll give us updates as this testing continues. 2. They've received the additional compounds mentioned in the last call and they expect to start testing on these additional compounds in the next few weeks. 3. They're submitting two of their potential papers soon (probably this summer), and are continuing work on four others. |
