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 is an active project on-going for the synthesis of GSK arylpyrrole series, in addition to active projects in the synthesis of the GSK Triazolourea Singleton and the GSK Amino-thienopyrimidine Series
Project entries will be listed at link in above menu.
