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 …
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, …
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!
The Cell app has received a total facelift and some important under the hood tune-ups to get ready for the COVID-19 effort. The app has been released to the Early Access beta testing group to gather important feedback before the launch early next week.
