12 May 2009 – Launch of the Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy - Phase 2 Project |
|
|
|
The mission of the Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy - Phase 2 project is to investigate protein-protein interactions for more than 2,200 proteins whose structures are known, with particular focus on those proteins that play a role in neuromuscular diseases. The database of information produced will help researchers design molecules to inhibit or enhance binding of particular macromolecules, hopefully leading to better treatments for muscular dystrophy and other neuromuscular diseases. |

05 May 2009 – Launch of Influenza Antiviral Drug Search Project |
|
|
|
The mission of the Influenza Antiviral Drug Search project is to find new drugs that can stop the spread of an influenza infection in the body. The research will specifically address the influenza strains that have become drug resistant as well as new strains that are appearing. Identifying the chemical compounds that are the best candidates will accelerate the efforts to develop treatments that would be useful in managing seasonal influenza outbreaks, and future influenza epidemics and even pandemics. |
