Sequencing of the virus in Cabo Verde by Institut Pasteur, Dakar confirms that the Zika virus currently circulating in Cabo Verde is the same as the one circulating in the Americas – the Asian type- and was most likely imported from Brazil. This is the first time that the Zika strain responsible for the outbreaks […]

The UC San Diego Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences announced Thursday the launch of a study that will use computers and mobile devices of volunteers to screen potential drug candidates for the Zika virus. The OpenZika project will work with IBM’s World Community Grid, which provides massive amounts of free computing power to […]
IBM’s World Community Grid and scientists from Brazil, the Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences at University of California San Diego, and Rutgers New Jersey Medical School have launched OpenZika, a project to find drug candidates to treat Zika, a fast spreading virus that the World Health Organization has declared a global public health […]
“The best part of this project is that it’s truly open — we will share all of the data we gather with the research community and general public, further accelerating Zika virus research,” Siqueira-Neto said. “What’s more, researchers not already participating in OpenZika are invited to submit proposals to receive free computing power to support […]
Drug discovery scientist teams up with crowdsourced research project. IBMs World Community Grid and scientists from Brazil, the Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences at University of California San Diego, and Rutgers New Jersey Medical School have launched OpenZika, a project to find drug candidates to treat Zika, a fast spreading virus that the […]
Em parceria com Universidade Federal de Goiás, projeto possibilita que qualquer pessoa que possua PC ou dispositivo móvel contribua com processamento da pesquisa. A IBM, em parceria com a Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG) e apoio da Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (Fiocruz), anunciou que irá fornecer poder computacional para ajudar em pesquisas para desenvolvimento de fármacos para a cura do […]
“In 2015, I started a project in collaboration with Dr. Sean Ekins, a pharmacologist with extensive research experience, to focus on the development of computational models to identify active compounds against the dengue virus, which is a serious mosquito-borne disease found throughout the world. These active compounds could become candidates for antiviral drugs. We are […]
Por meio de aplicativo, qualquer pessoa pode se cadastrar e contribuir para celeridade das pesquisas. A Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG) apresentou nesta quinta-feira (19) o projeto Open Zika, que é realizado em parceria com a World Community Grid (WCG), da IBM. O objetivo é unir esforços de instituições nacionais e internacionais para identificar substâncias com potencial para […]
Não precisa doar tempo, nem dinheiro, nem ser um grande cientista; Veja como contribuir com o projeto OpenZika A Universidade Federal de Goiás, em parceria com o World Community Grid e cientistas de vários países lançou na manhã desta quinta-feira (19/5) o projeto OpenZika, um estudo desenvolvido para identificar possíveis medicamentos antivirais para combater o […]
