==Open Source Drug Discovery for Malaria - February 24th 2012==

There will be a one-day meeting on Open Source Drug Discovery for Malaria at The University of Sydney, February 2012.<br>

===Location Information===
The meeting will take place on the main Camperdown campus of The University of Sydney.

===Schedule===

Sessions will be titled and arranged shortly, but will be based around questions:<br>

General:
* How is it best to share chemical and biological data in an open project?
* What technical barriers prevent open science?
* Which licence governs an open source drug discovery project?
* What psychological/professional barriers are there to open science?
* Is there a danger that open source drug discovery can be hijacked by people taking all the data and patenting them?
* Who might participate?
* Who will fund later stages such as clinical trials?
* Who will manufacture open drugs?


Malaria-specific:
* Is the GSK arylpyrrole set the best set of compounds to start with?
* What other compounds are promising starting point? Who might want to work on those compounds?
* For hit-to-lead, what data are typically needed, and from which assays? What criteria do we apply to compounds as they progress through such assays?
