Alpha Lee,co-founder and CSO of #ML company PostEra, read on Twitter that Diamond Light Source, the UK's national synchrotron facility, had identified a set of chemical fragments that attach to an important coronavirus protein. So Lee asked the Internet. Then PostEra applied their technology, pro-bono, to determine if and how those designs could be made. "There's an element of'we should do something' ...." says John Spencer, a prof of bio-organic chemistry at University of Sussex. "In times like these, when the world is closing down, science should open up," says Lee.
