Objectives
WISDOM vision is to approach drug discovery from a novel perspective using the most recent IT technologies. WISDOM objectives are in line with this vision.
The first objective of the WISDOM project is to develop a full virtual screeening pipeline on the grid. The data challenges presently deployed on the different international grids are focussed on docking but efforts are already under way to extend the virtual screening pipeline to molecular dynamics.
The second objective of the WISDOM project is to develop a knowledge space for research on neglected diseases such as malaria. This knowledge space would allow researchers (biologists, chemists) to access all information relevant to their work in a few mouse clicks.
The third objective is to follow up through the best drug candidates coming out of the data challenges so they are further processed in vitro and in vivo. Our commitment is that our research is useful to find new drugs against such devastating pleas as malaria.
