The World Community Grid has just added a new project.
​
World Community Grid and researchers supported by Decrypthon, a partnership between AFM (French Muscular Dystrophy Association), CNRS (French National Center for Scientific Research) and IBM are investigating protein-protein interactions for 40,000 proteins whose structures are known, with particular focus on those proteins that play a role in neuromuscular diseases. The database of information produced will help researchers design molecules to inhibit or enhance binding of particular macromolecules, hopefully leading to better treatments for muscular dystrophy and other neuromuscular diseases.
​
Muscular Dystrophy is a very personal illness to me since I have a brother who is suffering severely from MDA.
​
You can read about the project here.
​
If any of you know someone who suffers from MDA, here is a chance to actually do something that will help. We are making amazing progress against this scourge and others, and this is something we can all do that costs nothing, requires minimal effort and that will hasten the day when MDA like polio is but a memory.
​
If any of you have considered joining Team EvC but have held back for some reason, please, look at this project and if you can join us, can help, download the BOINC or UD agents.
​
If you have ANY questions, please ask.

Re: Thanks jar
MDA is something horrific to see but we are so close to being able to do something about it.
​
Thanks for helping out. It really is appreciated.

Bump to try to recruit some help
So far Team EvC has contributed greatly to the projects of the World Community Grid.
​
Folk, we do need your help. Please consider joining us and help fight some of the remaining diseases that afflict so many.

Thank You very much.
Fantastic. Once you down load the application please consider joining Team EvC. You can assign both machines to the same account by the way.

Re: Thank You very much.
There are a couple ways to participate. One is the application from United Devices which you can download at World Community Grid.
​
The other is the BOINC Agent that seems a little faster and can be downloaded here.
​
Once you have joined and get your agent downloaded you can join Team EvC here.

Thank you both
Shall I log you two as Biblical Christians? Perhaps honorary Biblical Christians?

Honary Biblical Christians Schraf & Zhimbo
as well as another member signed up. Great to see all three of you and even have two results from you schraf already. GREAT!
​
So now we actually have some Biblical Christians doing for the least of these.
​
Check Zhimbo's computer and make sure the agent is running. May need to sprinkle it with holy water but I advise against full immersion baptism.

Just wanted to thank all the new members. We went from 43 members to 49 just since Christmas.
​
It sure would be great if we could get 100 EvC members.
