Millions of people worldwide are affected by cancer, diabetes and other diseases. You don't have to be a scientist to help find a cure.
The Intel® Philanthropic Peer-to-Peer Program combats life-threatening illnesses by linking millions of PCs like yours into one of the most powerful computing resources in the world. This "virtual supercomputer" uses peer-to-peer technology to make unprecedented amounts of processing power available to medical researchers, thus accelerating the development of treatments and drugs with the potential to cure diseases.
You can take part in this ground-breaking Internet-based project by lending your PC's unused resources to the greater good. There's no cost to download and run the program, and no noticeable impact on your computer's performance, because the medical research programs take advantage only of processing power you're not using.
The United Devices* Cancer Research Program
The United Devices* cancer research program was developed to aid the search for new drugs to treat leukemia and other cancers. United Devices Inc.* developed this program in conjunction with the National Foundation for Cancer Research (NFCR)* and the University of Oxford*.
As a first step to finding new drugs and a potential cure for leukemia-the No. 1 cause of childhood death by disease-and other cancers, researchers must evaluate the cancer-fighting potential of hundreds of millions of molecules. NFCR scientists estimate that this task will require many millions of hours of number-crunching, which was previously unimaginable. Linking computers like yours to this project will help accelerate biological computation and produce faster results. Depending on the results of this program, the time required to develop a new treatment and drugs could be cut from twelve years to as little as five years.
This particular drug optimization program is evaluating 12 proteins. One of these 12 proteins has been identified as critical to the growth of leukemia; shutting it down might mean finding a cure for leukemia. The other 11 proteins in the simulation are very important to the growth of leukemia, and they have implications for the growth of other cancers as well. Stopping one of these proteins will likely reduce the growth of leukemia and have benefits for other cancers, too.
