New study: "The #OpenScience, #patent-free nature of the project enabled a large number of collaborators to provide in-kind support…By making all #data immediately available and ensuring that all compounds are purchasable…without the need for materials transfer agreements, we aim to accelerate research globally along parallel tracks…We hope that this can serve as an alternative model for antiviral discovery and future #pandemic preparedness."
