Isis Horus S.E.T.I World Community Grid: Help Conquer Cancer 


Berkely Open InterNet Computing
The Search for ExtraterresTrial Intelligence (SETI) was
started in the early 1960's by Frank Drake, a scientist
famous for his equation calculating the number of
communicating civilisations in the galaxy. The SETI
project aims to answer one simple question
"Are we alone in the galaxy?".
The mission of Help Conquer Cancer is to improve the results of protein X-ray crystallography, which
helps researchers not only annotate unknown parts of the human proteome, but more importantly improves their understanding of cancer initiation, progression and treatment.

In order to significantly impact the understanding of cancer and its treatment, novel therapeutic
approaches capable of targeting metastatic disease (or cancers spreading to other parts of the body)
must not only be discovered, but also diagnostic markers (or indicators of the disease), which can
detect early stage disease, must be identified.

Researchers have been able to make important discoveries when studying multiple human cancers,
even when they have limited or no information at all about the involved proteins. However, to better
understand and treat cancer, it is important for scientists to discover novel proteins involved in cancer and their structure and function.

To answer that we must see if we can pick up any intelligible signals that are not part of normal
background noise or known anomalies. If you are interested in the Seti@Home project, then click here.
