Active Research
Uncovering Genome Mysteries expects to examine close to 200 million genes from a wide variety of life forms, such as seaweeds from Australian coastlines and  found in Amazon river samples. Begun Oct 2014 Learn More	3,393	3	0:001:01:32:23
The scale of the task is staggering. It is only feasible thanks to the massive computational power of World Community Grid. While sequences from all forms of life will be processed, microorganisms will receive a special focus. Learn More. Copyright IBM Corporation2014.  All Rights Reserved.
Mapping Cancer Markers aims to identify chemical markers associated with various types of cancer. This will help researchers detect cancer earlier and design more personalized cancer care by determining an individual's susceptibility to developing a specific form of cancer, and may also predict the progression of the disease, helping to suggest the best treatment for a given individual.

The Clean Energy Project - Phase 2 The mission of The CEP is to find new materials for the next generation of solar cells and later, energy storage devices. By harnessing the immense power of World Community Grid, researchers can calculate the electronic properties of tens of thousands of organic materials.

FightAIDS@Home is the first World Community Grid project to run on Android smartphones and tablets. With the launch of the BOINC for Android app in July 2013, volunteer computing took a leap forward, starting with this project. Volunteers can now accelerate this critical research with their mobile devices.  Learn more or start contributing now. It is a project focused on using computation methods to identify candidate drugs that have the right shape and chemical characteristics to block HIV protease. This approach is called "Structure-Based Drug Design", and according to the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of General Medical Sciences, it has already had a dramatic effect on the lives of people living with AIDS.

It has been too long since I've been active on-line. I hope to change that within the next few months.

Happy Thanksgiving and a future Happy Holidays to you and yours this coming holiday season. Many, many thanks to those that persevered and continued to contribute to our F@H team.

The Charlies Web forums disappeared sometime over the last six months as I was not available to update the software for the forums. For this, I apologize. I hope to rebuild a forum within the coming year.

In the meanwhile... I have a special favor to ask of my friends and family.

Our World Community Grid team over in B.O.I.N.C. has this posted on my stats page:

Get 1 more volunteers to join World Community Grid to earn a Bronze Badge for Recruitment

Spread the word! Ask your friends and family to join World Community Grid using the link below, and you'll be recognized for introducing them:

Shortly, I'll post more about the work WCG is doing and has done.

Thanks so much,
Charles
