Experiment.com is a crowdsourcing website. 12 research projects are competing to get the most backers for Zika Virus research. The one that wins gets an additional 10k USD. This was to be awarded April 27, does anyone know which project won?

Nenufar Molecules for Life is now submitting a project to experiment.com. It is our project to express a peptide from a synthetic gene that we think may show anti-viral properties. We don't know if it will be effective against Zika virus (or any virus). Our experiment is to see if we can express the peptide and purify it, if we can do that consistently, then it can be evaluated - but that is a separate set of experiments.
We shall have some news on this project soon and will be looking for backers.
