    Cancer reasearch

     
    I just wondered if there's any effort in distributed computing done on cancer reasearch. I really think that my computer time and effort should be given to this issue

    nope, their still alive & kicking... the UD project ended, but it was expanded to other forms of research in 2004, now it has a variety of other areas to crunch for just like Find A Drug had.

    Wikipedia has a good list of projects.
    List of distributed computing projects - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    I'm running F@H now but I ran a few boinc based projects. IMO that is about the easiest, in terms of setup, DC client I've ran. You also get the option of splitting your time between projects or just one.
