Evaluating the lifetime of expiratory COVID droplets

The COVID-DROPLETS project, led by Dr Gaetano Sardina from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, in collaboration with Dr Francesco Picano from University of Padua in...

Predicting structural elements in the SARS-CoV-2 RNA genome

The non-coding regions of SARS-CoV-2 RNA play a decisive role in viral replication. Kresten Lindorff-Larsen and Sandro Bottaro of the University of Copenhagen have been...

Investigating viral dispersion in enclosed spaces

The pandemic has caused us to re-examine many aspects of our lives this year. The CFDforCOVID project, led by Florent Duchaine of CERFACS, has been...

Network modelling of SARS-Cov-2 transmission

Modelling how infectious diseases spread is a complex process that involves not only understanding the virus itself, but also the behaviour of the people who...

Using molecular dynamics to find drugs and vaccines for COVID-19

Molecular dynamics simulations allow us to see into the hidden atomic-scale world that makes up everything we see. Understanding SARS-CoV-2 at this level is helping...

Model aggregating for epidemics

Catalan-based company Mitiga Solutions uses supercomputers to provide early warnings to governments and business about natural hazards. Its recent foray into providing such information about...

Analysing peptides for antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties

Irish company Nuritas has carved itself a niche in the world of drug discovery with its AI platform that analyses the therapeutic potential of thousands...

Investigating the impact of mutations in SARS-CoV-2

Molecular dynamics simulations are one of the best methods for quickly understanding the mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2. A project led by Modesto Orozco of the Spanish...

The role of glycans in the spike protein

Glycan shields allow viruses to hide from their host’s immune system. In SARS-CoV-2, however, it seems that they may also play a critical role in...

Understanding the structure and dynamics of the spike protein

The spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 has been the focus of a huge collective effort in computational research to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. It is crucial...
