Current Projects
There are lots of things needed, but the main thing is experimental input. If you're a scientist with access to a lab, open source drug discovery needs you. If you want to know what open source drug discovery is, go here. For anyone new to the project here is a short guide to using the Electronic Lab Notebook.
Currently there are three active projects on-going:
- GSK arylpyrrole series - plus a human-readable summary of the current project status.
- GSK Triazolourea Singleton
- GSK Amino-thienopyrimidine Series
Project entries will be listed at link in above menu.
