Contributing computational resources to medical research
Folding@Home is a distributed computing project that uses idle computer processing power to simulate protein folding, computational drug design, and other types of molecular dynamics. This research helps scientists understand diseases and develop new treatments.
The computational work contributes to research on diseases including Alzheimer's, Huntington's, Parkinson's, cancer, and COVID-19. Each work unit processed helps advance our understanding of protein structure and function.
Van Graham's systems contributed idle computational resources to this global distributed computing network, joining thousands of volunteers worldwide in advancing medical research through shared processing power.
