Biovista is doing the investigation
Project Prodigy AI at Biovista is focused on potential COVID-19 treatments
- "... create visual networks of connections between different attack points related to COVID-19, including drugs, genes, pathways, cell types and more"
- "Project Prodigy is working through more than 170,000 putative Drugs, Compounds and Nutritional Supplements, DIRECTLY or INDIRECTLY linked to the COVID-19 targets..."
- They then are:
- exploring the biology around the disease
- generating hypotheses for possible treatment
- sharing hypotheses with the community
- assessing and refining these hypotheses
- "Supporting scientific literature (PubMed articles) can be viewed by clicking on the blue document icons."
- So far, we hypothesize that two (2) drugs and (2) Nutritional Supplements that could be co-administered with the drugs seem to be suitable for further study and testing
Another repurposing study also considers Vitamin D for treatment - Sept 2020
