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
