First-ever crowd-sourced small molecule discovery and a potent SARS-CoV-2 antiviral lead compound

The work of the COVID Moonshot Consortium has been published in the journal Science revealing their discovery of a potent SARS-CoV-2 antiviral lead compound. It also reflects on the success of its open science approach in launching a patent-free antiviral discovery program to rapidly develop a differentiated lead in response to a pandemic emergency.
