An eight-grader Indian-American has been awarded a grand prize of $25,000 in the '3M Young Scientist Challenge' for her attempt to find a possible cure for the COVID-19 outbreak. The 14-year old Anika Chebrolu from Nelson Middle School in Frisco (Texas) used an in-silico methodology for drug discovery to find a molecule that can selectively bind to the Spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in an attempt to find a cure for the COVID-19.
