Posted 22 Sep 2007 by Old Member Post: Is the disease related research terminated or still going on? That question should be covered in the first place. A subpage, with a list of the diseases covered and a short progress message (1 sentence is enough) on the current stage of the research (planned, ongoing, terminated, results published, ...) With all due respect the page you site contains this statement: "The above projects are not currently running on BOINC because we don't yet have an efficient queuing system which lets people submit jobs easily, but look for them soon! Also, rest assured that the structure prediction calculations currently running on your computers will have direct bearing on treating disease. There is a three-fold explanation for this direct relationship between structure prediction and disease treatment:....." It then goes describe what to me sounds like drug research. Doesn't Pfizer make enough money to do its own research? So my question is this, are we doing drug research, disease research or some combination? I'm no scientist so perhaps I don't comprehend the difference. I'm new to this project so perhaps I have misunderstood. |
