New & impressive @ScienceMagazine Here's how you discover a potent new drug vs Covid 212 scientists/15 countries Open-science, patent free, high-throughput structural biology based design, #AI @covid_moonshot @melissa_boby @FrankvonDelft @Darenfearon science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

In the first-ever crowd-sourced research effort, the @covid_moonshot consortium has discovered a strong antiviral for #COVID. This result from @sciencemagazine will pave the way for potential antivirals for all coronaviruses. @CmdOxford Discover more 👉 ndm.ox.ac.uk/news/covid-moo…

Extremely excited that our Moonshot story is now finally published in Science! science.org/doi/full/10.11…

#GoodNews for @gardp_amr "A new gonorrhea drug was developed by a non-profit foundation" And a reminder that the profit motive should have no place in healthcare, which should be run for public good economist.com/science-and-te…

This just has to be re-shared... and re-shared...

An amazing open science effort - well done COVID Moonshot team!

We are proud to be a part of the ASAP <asapdiscovery.org> Discovery team and do our best to pursue the development of new antivirals for future pandemics, (@asap_discovery). Many thanks to John @jchodera and the team for organizing this important meeting!

The @CmdOxford team in New York this week for the @asap_discovery meeting. What a privilege to at last hang out with the people in person we were in the trenches with since @covid_moonshot. And getting to know all the new people joining our pandemic preparedness effort.

Moonshot has been a true global partnership since the start with over 400 scientists involved, and we're thankful to @SCIupdate for recognizing these efforts! @DNDi @PostEra_AI @UniofOxford @MedChemica @jchodera @EnamineLtd @DiamondLightSou

Several of Moonshot's leaders attended the event at the UK Parliament and came home with second place in the Innovation Award!

Moonshot preclinical update! We have good news to share. We have whittled down to a single advanced lead, DNDI-6510, after 6 months of intense work to optimize synthetic routes, and conduct ADMET-PK profiling, secondary pharmacology, and extensive virology... 🧵
