The other night at work we were looking at a draft of a center for Alzheimer's patients and I found out very little information on the topic. So what I did? I went to see the page on Alzheimer
on wikipedia.
And more you read, what I find? The bit about distributed computing projects, carried out through projects of the network that are intended to help fight Alzheimer's and other diseases by improving knowledge of the proteins involved, through the use of computing power, "parallel" of thousands of PCs volunteer networking.
We can all participate with our pc any, do not need the PC lady and above all (I say x Proven experience in these days), these little programs take up very little space, very little memory and processor, but they give a huge hand for researchers.
For those interested, ask me very well because I am most looking forward too!
Saludos!
