World Community Grid Finishes Phase 1 of Discovering Dengue

[stardust]

World Community Grid is pleased to announce the completion of the first phase of the "Discovering Dengue Drugs - Together" project. It took only two years to complete, even though the project was halted for 17 weeks due to the destruction of the University of Texas Medical Branch research facilities as a result of Hurricane Ike.

In total, members provided nearly 12,000 years of computer processing time to this project.

Completing this phase of the project is a significant contribution to the research of not only Dengue Fever but also Hepatitis C, West Nile, Yellow Fever and other diseases caused by the Flaviviridea family of viruses.
