Open Source Malaria (OSM | Open Source Malaria (OSM) is aimed at finding new medicines for malaria using strictly open source principles, embodied in the [[Open_Source_Research | 6 Laws of Open Research]]. | ||

Status: A short summary of the science to date can be found in [[OpenSourceMalaria:Story_so_far|'''The Story So Far''']]. | |||
Detail on the molecules investigated can be found in [[OpenSourceMalaria:Compound Series|'''The Compound Series Page''']], the daughter pages of which contains aggregated data about those series. | |||

At the moment ( | At the moment (October 2013) there is most activity on [[OpenSourceMalaria:GSK Amino-thienopyrimidine Series|'''Series 3''']], but it is likely there will soon be a shift to [[OpenSourceMalaria:Triazolopyrazine (TP) Series|'''Series 4''']]. | ||
The main resources needed in the OSM project are '''experimental input''', particularly chemical compound synthesis and help with chem/bioinformatics. Anyone can make compounds, get them tested and contribute data.
