We're excited to share a Nature Reviews Drug Discovery Perspective on lessons in accelerating future antiviral discovery and development learned from COVID-19, led by ASAP Investigators Annette von Delft and Alpha Lee: nature.com/articles/s4157…

I am proud to be part of this project and it is gratifying to see that all our effort during lockdown is being recognized. Congratulations team Centre for Medicines Discovery XChem Ed Griffen

Congratulations to all CMD team members of the #COVID Moonshot collaboration that was awarded the 2nd place in the SCI innovation award! Great to see the project recognised amongst a very competitive field at a ceremony in the Palace of Westminster last Wednesday.

Day 1 of Erice crystallography school and Frank von Delft arrived in unusual fashion (i.e. not by bicycle) to lecture on High-throughput crystallography. Centre for Medicines Discovery XChem Diamond Light Source

Next up at Erice Annette von Delft lecturing on what it takes to get to efficacy. Centre for Medicines Discovery COVID Moonshot ASAP Discovery

Aperitivo in Erice with our ASAP swag! ASAP Discovery

Day 2 of Erice and we keep on representing. This time me on TEPs, Creoptix waveRAPID and data. Centre for Medicines Discovery ASAP Discovery COVID Moonshot

We are rocking Erice! This time Jasmin with an XChem poster on our ASAP Discovery work done Centre for Medicines Discovery and Diamond Light Source. Go team!

Another Erice talk from Jasmin in the XChem team on the EV-D68 3C protease fragment screen we did as part of ASAP Discovery. Our first ASAP fragment screen is now out in the wild!

Frank, Annette and Lizbé lecturing at the International School of Crystallography that is currently running in Erice, Italy.

PDB released 478 SARS-CoV-2 structures this week, including 466 mpros with inhibitors from the COVID Moonshot project. 966 have been released this year (shown), for 3826 total since the first CV19 structure was released in Feb 2020. Explore them all at rcsb.org/covid19

Massive push from XChem, spear-headed by Daren Fearon. >10% from COVID Moonshot 😊

The COVID Moonshot—an open-science, crowdsourced, and patent-free drug discovery campaign targeting the #SARSCoV2 virus—has yielded a wealth of data that could pave the way for the development of new and better therapeutics. Learn more in Science: scim.ag/4LB

Our Moonshot story is live! science.org/doi/full/10.11…

In the first-ever crowd-sourced research effort, the COVID Moonshot consortium has discovered a strong antiviral for #COVID. This result from @sciencemagazine will pave the way for potential antivirals for all coronaviruses. Centre for Medicines Discovery Discover more 👉 ndm.ox.ac.uk/news/covid-moo…

The incredible ASAP Discovery team members working with XChem collected 14,631 X-ray datasets and deposited 6.7% of all X-ray structures in the PDB for ASAP in 2023 to advance structure-based antiviral discovery--with hundreds more pending release. 🚀

This week I had the privilege to share my XChem user experience as the Centre for Medicines Discovery BAG PI at ccp4_mx study weekend with lessons from ASAP Discovery and COVID Moonshot. What a way to start the year.

We're recruiting: Science Coordinator (Jr / Sr) to ASAP Discovery in XChem team at Diamond Light Source. See vacancies.diamond.ac.uk/vacancy/scienc… - deadline Jan 15. For scientists who're done postdocing, but like large collabs, coordinating, writing, outreach - ping me if any questions.
