IBM is using its influence in the IT arena to create the world's largest-ever grid computing system. The company envisions 10 million participants donating computing cycles to the World Community Grid, which is designed for use in scientific and environmental research projects. The Human Proteome Folding Project will be the first to take advantage of the system.

The Human Protein Folding Project has been a real success to date with over 48,000 members, contributing over 69,000 computers
Currently they have achieved over 3,000 years of processing time towards the project and returned 1,765,954 results
A follow up story would generate a much needed infusion of members to the Human Protein Folding Project at http://worldcommunitygrid.org
I would be happy to furnish you with all the relevant information required to enable you to do a follow up story on the progress of this humanitarian effort
Please Email me to confirm your interest in running a follow up story
Best regards
