TSBT chooses FightMalaria@Home as team project.
A bit about the project...
Malaria kills a child every 45 seconds. The disease is most prevalent in poorer countries, where it infects 216 million people and kills 650,000 each year, mostly African children under 5 years old [WHO]. And Plasmodium falciparum continues to evolve resistance to available medication. We therefore urgently need to discover new drugs to replace existing drugs. Importantly, these new drugs need to target NEW proteins in the parasite. The FightMalaria@Home project is aimed at finding these new targets.
FightMalaria@Home is based at UCD in Dublin, Ireland.
We aim to help the project reach this goal, so we would ask that people from the team support this goal by choosing to donate some of their time on this project. Obviously this is a long term commitment and we are not asking you to drop you're current projects, just add as much or as little as you wish.
The project is found here http://boinc.ucd.ie/fmah/ or attach through Bam as usual.
project home page is here http://www.fight-malaria.org/
team stats found here http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?page ... h&team=254 or on temujin's stats http://www.ubtstats.co.uk/tsbt/UBT.php? ... oject=fmah
Having personally had Malaria ( one of my worst experience's as an adult ( and i've broken more bones than I care to remember ), can't imagine what it would be like for a child ), I hope some of you will join in this endeavor. Let's all help out this worthy cause.
