Using Open Science to accelerate drug discovery

The Neuro’s drug discovery initiative supports research by developing assays shared with the scientific community In the past 40 years, the model of drug discovery used by the pharmaceutical industry, while proving successful for some applications, has produced very little for neurodegenerative diseases. “We have to ask if there is a better way to find

Probiotics can decrease the mortality rate due to nosemosis in bees by up to 40%

Adding probiotics to bees’ food helps make them more resistant to nosemosis, a fungal infection associated with colony collapse disorder that has been observed in Europe and North America over the past 20 years. Probiotics can decrease the mortality rate of this infection in bees by up to 40%, report researchers at Université Laval in the
