Dear Colleagues,
The occurrence of a new, extremely pathogenic betacoronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 (2019-nCoV), is responsible for the CoVid-19 pandemic health emergency. Accordingly, SARS-CoV-2 represents a serious global health warning characterized by high mortality, a high contagion rate, and a lack of clinically approved drugs and vaccines. In order to find safe and effective therapeutic options to treat this infectious disease, computer science could play an extremely relevant role to better understand the virus pathogenic mechanism as well as to propose novel therapeutic strategies. Accordingly, due to progress in computer science, in silico methodologies in medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, biology, genetics, and virology cover relevant tasks in modern research in these fields. Furthermore, due to the current global health warning, such computational techniques could speed up research in order to provide innovative and targeted approaches to fight the coronavirus emergency. In light of this, this Special Issue will highlight progress in terms of drug discovery, virus biology, and epidemiology to provide researchers with the most innovative computer-driven methodologies for fighting SARS-CoV-2.
For this Special Issue of Computation, we invite researchers in the fields of computational drug discovery (including drug repurposing approaches), computational biology/genetics, virology, bioinformatics, and epidemiology to submit original research, short communications, and review articles related to the use of computation to fight SARS-CoV-2.

in computation to cure corona virus i thought neural network discovery is best tool to treat this virus.
Artificial intelligence technique and other computation power is required to treat this virus.
German and Chinese scientist is discovering research in these days.
Some great citizen resourced computational science running on 1.3Exa flops of donated computer time - Currently running Covid-19 simulations amongst other projects. Might be worth reaching out to them for paper.

Salute Simone,
Tante grazcie. This is most valuable to bring together best minds to seek solutions to monitor, heal and prevent the COVID-19.
Tanti auguri. Eduard
Can we know the article processing fees? Usually, the APC has been waived for almost all journals related to COVID-19. Please let us know.
Thank you.@Simone Brogi
The APC for this issue is 1000 CHF, but discount will be available by contacting the editorial office. Regards Simone

Thank you for the invitation, Simone, but with such a topic I would probably go for a high impact free journals :-) The fee is a bit too high taking into account that submitted papers about covid-19 will increase the impact of the journal. Giving at least 40% discount would attract more researchers.
First of all thank you for arrangement of this discussion, we all are in trial stage as we can use anti inflammatory product for COVID 19 recovery. you can see the below links that written by me on the existing drugs that can be the remedies for COVID 19 (already in use).
Presentation Review on existing drugs for the treatment of COVID 19
for COVID-19 disease , yet there is no any authentic research and vaccine is not given to public level. The research is being tested daily as per the demand
hope for the best
