🖥 Webinar Announcement 🖥 Conscience’s webinar on September 18 at 1pm EDT will feature two of the top-performing teams in the second #CACHEChallenge. For this Challenge, participants were asked to identify molecules that bind to a highly conserved site on a SARS-CoV-2 protein, NSP13. If one of these molecules (or “hits”) were eventually developed into a new drug,  that drug should be effective against any current or future coronaviruses, marking a significant step towards pandemic preparedness. The official announcement of the top-scoring teams won’t happen until September 10, so we can’t reveal the identities of the speakers yet. We can tell you, that they are new participants employing creative and surprising strategies including relying on AI, citizen science, and a variety of open source software packages. One of the teams predicted the highest number of hits of any team and the other was the biggest team yet. The speakers will take you through the strategy behind their approach and showcase the software tools in their method, enabling others to build on their approach and create collaborations. If you want to learn about the cutting edge of computer-aided drug design, you won’t want to miss it. Find the registration link on our website here: https://lnkd.in/gN2mt9at
