Community for Open Antimicrobial Drug Discovery
CO-ADD is an open-access crowd sourcing initiative created to help researchers uncover new antibiotics, by providing free, unencumbered testing for activity against pathogenic bacteria and fungi/yeast. CO-AD includes SPARK, a community knowledge base.
CO-ADD and SPARK, the Shared Platform for Antibiotic Research and Knowledge, provide a platform to share expertise, results, & predictive models.
