Bumping this thread to call out a couple of items:
1. From the "Data management" section: "Out of the 20,000 potential candidates we selected about 70 molecules for experimental testing and we are going to order them soon!" 2. Anyone interested in the details of the drug discovery process for the project should take a look at the excellent infographic created by Dr. Martina Maritan (one of the research team members). There's a link to it in the update and you can also see it at https://forlilab.org/wp-content/uploads/sites..._infographic_mmaritan.png |
