We believe in freely sharing data and materials to speed up drug discovery and engage in the following Open Science activities:
Open data - Publishing in open access journals
Open access - Sharing protocols and providing training
Open intellectual property - Promoting open partnerships with industry
Open sharing - Making our reagents available
