Anika Chebrolu from Texas originally wanted to contribute to the development of a more effective flu medicine, but focused on the coronavirus due to the pandemic.

Thousands of scientists around the world are currently working to find some form of solution to combat the coronavirus epidemic. Some are working to develop a vaccine, while other professionals are looking for possible treatments. Now, in this last field, we can approach the solution thanks to a 14-year-old student.

Anika Chebrolu, who lives in Frisco, Texas, recently won the 3M Young Scientist Challenge, where she was awarded $ 25,000, or approximately $ 7.7 million, for her discovery of a possible cure for those infected with the coronavirus.

A CNN Chebrolu reported that he had developed a method that could find a molecule that could join coronavirus spikes using computer simulation. Such a molecule could lead to the development of a drug that can provide an effective cure for virus-infected patients.

Chebrolu originally wanted to create a model to develop a more effective medicine for the flu, but due to the coronavirus epidemic, he decided to focus more on that.

The young student aims to work alongside scientists and researchers who will use his method to discover an effective drug against the coronavirus.
