Brian Shoichet, Ph.D.
Professor, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, UCSF
Nevan Krogan, Ph.D.
Professor, Cellular Molecular Pharmacology, UCSF
In this webinar, UCSF professors Brian Shoichet and Nevan Krogan will discuss their work in mapping out virus-human protein interactions, and the subsequent identification of known drugs that exhibit antiviral activities by targeting human proteins.
Discussion topics will include:
What are the pros and cons of hitting a target directly interacting with SAR-CoV-2?
How to think about the timelines and impact of de novo drug discovery vs repurposing vs vaccine development?
What could be done to scale/coordinate collaborations like these for COVID-19 globally, to avoid or minimize redundant efforts?
