HEWMEN Cell COVID-19 Project End of Life

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 …

HEWMEN Cell COVID-19 Edition End of Life

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 …

Uninstalling HEWMEN Cell COVID-19 Edition

Checkered Flag badge

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 …

Keeping it Holstered: A Novel Approach to Combating COVID-19

Flask

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 …

You made a difference. Here is the proof!

Milestone Badge

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, …

We Are HEWMEN has kicked off!

Happy Earth

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!
