SARS CoV-2 Cellular Tracker Logo

A group effort to track SARS CoV-2 cellular assays data from around the globe!

This is an open-access tool to keep track of published SARS CoV-2 cellular assays, and those performed by members of the Zitzmann Lab at the University of Oxford SARS-CoV-2 CL3 core facility.

An initiative of the Zitzmann Lab , the BRC translational science team and support of volunteers from SGC , University of Oxford.

About

The project:

This service is a work in progress. We hope to iterate, expand, and improve the Tracker in the coming days, weeks, and months as time as resources allow.

How does this all work?

Each week we search for new publications that include SARS CoV-2 cellular assays and manually extract relevant cellular assay data. This is by no means comprehensive, so if you come across any assay data that we have missed, please get in touch. We run our own antiviral assays in the University of Oxford SARS-CoV-2 CL3 core facility. Our main aim in the immediate term is to enable rapid translation of potential antiviral compounds into the clinic. Therefore, we preferentially screen generically available, FDA-approved compounds and publish all screening results here on our website to avoid duplication of effort at a time where capacity is at a bottleneck worldwide.

Can I use your data for...?

The information is available for anyone to use. We are publishing all screening results here on our website to avoid duplication of effort at a time where capacity is at a bottleneck worldwide, and will be publishing these in peer-reviewed publication(s) in due course. We will update the entries with these citations as they happen, until then citing this website is fine. If you do find our data useful and do something amazing with it, please share it back - We are excited to see what people can do!

How can I help?

We are open to improving the Tracker, either in content or appearance, through collaboration with committed individuals with specific expertise. If you have time, knowledge, and an idea about how to improve a specific aspect of the project, please get in touch with us .
