Guest guest Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 Hi… I want to make a suggestion about fighting cancer@home, your pc can help to find cancer drugs! Many people may know seti@home, letting your pc find ET. This works on the principal that millions of home pc’s are given certain packages that they process and the results are send back to SETI. The SETI network now has the processing power that is more then a 100 times faster then the world fastest supercomputer. For a couple of years now this principle is also used by the pharmaceutical industry and research institutes. Grid.org uses this network technology that uses everyday people’s computer to fight cancer. They use computational chemistry to find possible drugs candidates for cancer. They literally scan billions and billions of molecules for their potential as a drug, and your pc can help. This cuts down drug research and development with several years. The fight cancer@home can be downloaded at www.grid.org ; here you can also find more info on this subject. I used this program now for two years and are trying to inform as many as people of its excistence. Next to grid.org I also run aids@home www.fightaidsathome.com All this was just for your information, Jan Toersche PS. Grid.org also runs other project then cancer research, but you can select to run the cancer project only. To find out how check out the Forums on the grid.org site, look at the cancer project forum, on several places there you can find how to do this.
