Bridge

Within BRIDGE a number of valuable resources in terms of tools and data sets has been created. The Pharma tools and resources will be used directly by the project partners, e.g. within the WISDOM project consortium in Europe and the Drug Discovery Grid consortium in China.  Furthermore, the BRIDGE Pharma partners have successfully engaged collaborators from other parts of the world in using the developed infrastructure, including researchers in Egypt, which is one of the countries that have been affected by the Bird Flu epidemic (Up to April 2009, Egypt had 26 human fatalities from Bird Flu, the third highest fatality rate in the world at that date). The deployment at Nile University in Cairo, Egypt included installation of the workflow tools and portal front ends which enable Egyptian researchers to access services in Europe and China. Furthermore, the deployment included deploying Dock and AutoDock GRIA services in Egypt, which can be used by European and Chinese Researchers.
