This project has grown in size over time. We have divided the project into multiple workstreams that are described below.

Mission

The mission of this workstream is to develop an easy to use visual interface for scientists to better understand and compare drug interactions with a particular target.

Skills Needed

We need people who have skills or want to develop skills in:

• web development

• Python

• cloud computing

• dataframes

Workstream Lead

Matt Zamora and Paul Zamora

Mission

The mission of this workstream is to develop and refine the Delta S Prime algorithm and promote it as a viable analytical method for drug development pipelines. 

Skills Needed

We need people who have skills or want to develop skills in:

• Algorithms

• Mathematics

• Data science

• Bioinformatics

Workstream Lead
