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 in particular. 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
• GSK Triazolourea Singleton
• GSK Amino-thienopyrimidine Series

Project entries will be listed at link in above menu.
