AlphaFold touted as next big thing for drug discovery — but is it? To find out “what is needed is a transparent process like CASP”. We agree, and the CACHE hit-finding benchmarking challenge is well underway. Hype meets reality!

I am shocked & appalled that the Canadian National Vimy Memorial, a sacred space honouring the 60,000 Canadians who gave their lives in Europe during the First World War, was vandalized.
We are working with French authorities to find the person responsible.

Sobering reality of fragment-based drug discovery. 23 world class scientists were given a structure with fragments bound, and challenged to use this information to predict a potent inhibitor(s) from a pool of 6B compounds. Each had 100 shots on goal. Outcome? There “may” be hits.

Experimental data for CACHE#2 Round#1 are out (1957 compounds predicted by 23 participants). 46 hits from 18 groups advance to hit expansion round. The wind is coming from expected AND unexpected places. Final results for CACHE#1 are next - in December. bit.ly/47uxBcq

Addressing #AntimicrobialResistance is a crucial effort, because the clock is ticking. Every day that passes, the threat increases.
The world needs a comprehensive and well financed action now to prevent drug resistant disease developing & spreading.
We have no time to waste.

#OpenScience #Partnerships aren't rivals to other innovation models; they're an additional lane on innovation highway!🚗By fostering collaboration, knowledge sharing, & unlocking new opportunities, they complement existing approaches, helping firms reach their destination faster.
English
Harness magic of research & innovation with open tools, databases, and materials! 🧪✨ #OpenScience #Partnerships hold key to success, making it easier & more cost-effective to manage these vital resources. Let's embark on a journey of collaboration & discovery. 🚀🔬 #Innovation
English
We face a choice: fight #GlobalHealth issues like pandemics, AMR, & more, or repeat past mistakes. Patents & knowledge hoarding won't cut it. #OpenScience partnerships are way forward. They ensure global access and speed up treatments to save lives. Let's make the right choice.

"Unfortunately, Canada is not yet in a position of leadership in [Open Science]. The Tri-Agencies do not provide any dedicated funding competitions for OS research nor is there public facing monitoring to track our performance and benchmark for improvement."
