Wouldn't it be good to be able to put the spare processing power of your computer to use in advancing medical science? You can! Folding@Home is a distributed computing project from Stanford University that relies on the contribution of millions of hours of spare computing time from people like you and I. This processor power is used to solve the hardest, most pressing problems in protein biochemistry, speeding up the search for therapies and cures for degenerative conditions of aging. Currently, Alzheimer's disease is one of those at the head of the list. The Longevity Meme Folding@Home team (number 32461) is growing and moving up in the ranks - join the team and compete to advance medical science!
