Help us change the world - without really trying.
World Community Grid's mission is to create the largest public computing grid benefiting humanity. Join in order to donate the idle cycle time from your computer to accelerate the research projects running on World Community Grid and in that way, help to improve human conditions. ChickenFox encourages your participation, therecruiting ofnew members and challenges. Donate your cpu idle time to Team ChickenFox OR create your own team.
Your donated computer time can now help find drugs to combat a future outbreak of influenza!
World Community Grid has started a new research project that will use your donated computer time to find new drugs that can stop the spread of an influenza infection in an individual. The research will specifically address the influenza strains that have become drug resistant, as well as new strains that are appearing. Your computer will help identify the chemical compounds that are the best candidates. This will accelerate the efforts to develop treatments that would be useful in managing seasonal influenza outbreaks and future influenza epidemics.

OR...Your donated computer cycle time can now help find a cure for neuromuscular diseases!
Phase 2 of the Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy project extends the research conducted in Phase 1 to include 2,280 proteins that are believed to play a role in neuromuscular diseases, a group of chronic diseases with no cure. The original results from Phase 1 formed a database for molecular and biological researchers to use, and created a more robust mathematical modeling system. The expanded project will continue to analyze and document the function and interactions of proteins involved in muscular dystrophy. With this vital knowledge, scientists will be able to develop innovative therapies that will lead to treatments for the vast majority of neuromuscular diseases.
