Welcome to the Say No to Schistosoma project!

Dear World Community Grid Members,
Welcome to the Say No to Schistosoma (SN2S) project!

Schistosomiasis is a tropical disease caused by parasitic worms that are transmitted by freshwater snails. The disease kills 20,000 people each year and affects over 207 million people. Schistosomiasis is second only to malaria in its socioeconomic devastation.

We, the researchers at Infórium University in Belo Horizonte and FIOCRUZ-Minas, Brazil, are using World Community Grid to search for chemical compounds which may lead to new drugs for treating the disease.

We are really looking forward to reviewing the results of this project, and sharing the insights we get from the results with you. As the project moves forward, we will be certain to keep you updated about our findings and publications in this forum.

We are extremely grateful for your willingness to donate your idle computer resources to this ambitious project and to World Community Grid, in general. If you have any questions or comments, please contact us by posting to this Forum.

Thank you from the research team and the Infórium University and FIOCRUZ-Minas Labs:

Rosângela Silqueira Hickson Rios: member name: "RHICKSON"

==============================================================

Prezados membros da World Community Grid
Sejam bem-vindos ao Projeto Say No To Schistosoma (SN2S)

Schistosomose é uma doença tropical causada por um parasite, que mata aproximadamente 20.000 pessoas por ano e afeta mais de 207 milhões de pessoas em 74 países.
A Schistosomose é a segunda maior causa de devastação socioeconômica, estando apenas atrás da malária.

Nós, pesquisadores da FIT - Faculdade Infórium de Tecnologia, CEUMIH - Centro Universitário Izabela Hendrix e Fundação Osvaldo Cruz – Fiocruz Minas estamos usando o World Community Grid para pesquisar compostos químicos que possam ser usados como novas drogas para tratamento da doença.
Estamos acompanhando os resultados do projeto e todas informações serão compartilhadas com vocês. À medida que o projeto for avançando, iremos mantê-los informados e atualizados e todas as descobertas e publicações serão divulgadas neste fórum.

Agradecemos a doação dos recursos de seus computadores para este projeto e para o World Community Grid. Se tiver alguma questão ou comentário, por favor, entre em contato através deste fórum.

Obrigado em nome da equipe de pesquisadores da Faculdade Infórium de Tecnologia, Centro Universitário Izabela Hendrix e Fiocruz-Minas.

Re: Welcome to the Say No to Schistosoma project!

This one has been in waiting so long. Welcome and good speed on the grid.

And of course a crunching chart: http://bit.ly/WCGSNS

(for the funny bone, stats were run on this research page too, some 6 hours ago :D

http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/stat/viewProject.do?projectShortName=sn2s

Crunching Started, ahead of the auto-populations scripts :D

Re: Welcome to the Say No to Schistosoma project!

Seeing that me quad is going to finish a few jumptstarted SN2Ss before the midnight hour. We'll be seeing some first starts tonight.

(and since Norton was send off, no pop-ups that caused me to need to approve).

Re: Welcome to the Say No to Schistosoma project!

Is this new project also using VINA?
