University of Utah's Folding@home

The University of Utah's Folding@home is a scientific project that uses volunteers' computers to simulate how proteins fold and behave. By running these complex calculations, researchers can better understand diseases like COVID-19, Alzheimer's, and cancer. When you join, your computer, during idle times, helps accelerate these simulations, making it possible to analyze biological processes that would be too slow or expensive to study in labs. This collective effort advances medical research by providing valuable insights into disease mechanisms and potential treatments.
