Through the power of community, we're changing the world for the better
Thank you for participating in The HEWMEN Cell project to help fight COVID-19. The work you did through the Cell app was able to identify compounds that show major promise in combating COVID-19. READ MORE about these successes and the HEWMEN Cell COVID-19 edition End of Life. Now that this phase of research is at …
In late 2019, the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus emerged and a pandemic followed soon thereafter. At that time, little was known about this virus and massive efforts were made to learn about and combat it. In response to this challenge, BALANCED Media|Technology released a specialized version of our HEWMEN Cell app and we are proud to …
HEWMEN Cell COVID-19 Edition was specifically created to conduct a search for molecular compounds that show promise towards fighting COVID-19. This phase of research has concluded (read about our results) and the app will not receive any more problem data and can therefore be uninstalled. For both the Windows Installer and Windows Store versions of …
HEWMENs! Together, we’ve achieved a major milestone: We have collectively submitted over 50,000 experiment results. Great Job! Keep it going!
What if we could just prevent the spike protein from ever being able to interact with the body? That’s the question Dr. John Wise from the Drug Discovery Group at Southern Methodist University asked after looking at all the data and experimental results created from the molecular docking experiments being performed. HEWMEN is currently performing …
Testing our first set of compounds, we were looking to see if we could find any that were capable of binding over the “spike protein”. This protein is what allows the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 to interact with the lungs and inject its genetic material and wreak havoc on our bodies (visualized here). Well, …
Fellow HEWMENs! We’ve passed another major milestone- the community has collectively contributed 25,000 task results. Great Job! Keep it up!
The community just hit 10,000 task results! Thank you for every bit of processing power you’ve loaned us. Seriously. We couldn’t have done it without you.
Today marks the day we come together as a community to form a virtual supercomputer to test approved drug compounds against the COVID-19 virus and find a treatment that can start helping people faster. Thank you for joining the effort!
