Ayuda contra el cancer, desde tu casa

Normalmente las ayudas para causas humanitarias cuestan dinero, lo que hace que mucha gente no ayude, ya que no todos disponemos del dinero suficiente para afrontar tantos gastos. Así que ahora, no tendremos excusa. El que no ayude es porque no quiere.

Con este software creado por la universidad de Oxford, podremos ayudar en la lucha contra el cancer y otras enfermedades gratis y desde nuestra casa.

¿Cómo?

Muy sencillo. El estudio de celulas consume muchísimo tiempo a los cientificos, y mediante estos estudios sacan nuevas terapias contra enfermedades. Con nuestra ayuda, donaremos el tiempo en el que nuestro PC no esta trabajando para analizar parte de esos datos y devolver los resultados a su servidor. Simplemente tendremos que descargar este software e instalarlo en nuestro PC, y recibiremos datos que nuestro PC analizará (nosotros elegiremos si queremos que trabaje todo el tiempo o sólo mientras nuestro pc no hace nada en modo salvapantallas) y devolverá esos resultados. Con esto ahorraremos mucho tiempo de proceso.


Muchísimas personas estan ayudando ya.... ¿No te vas a unir?

One in four of us will at some time suffer from cancer. The high mortality rate, the suffering experienced by patients from the side effects of existing treatments, and the high costs of treatment all contribute to making cancer a priority for drug research.

A new way to help
A landmark research project has begun that allows people to make a real difference in the fight against cancer.

The United Devices Cancer Research Project is asking you to volunteer your PC to help process molecular research being conducted by the Department of Chemistry at the University of Oxford in England and the National Foundation for Cancer Research. To participate, you simply download a very small, no cost, non-invasive software program that works like a screensaver: it runs when your computer isn't being used, and processes research until you need your machine. Your computer never leaves your desk, and the project never interrupts your usual PC use.

It's safe and easy
There is no cost to participate and no impact on your computer use. The project software cannot detect or transfer anything on your machine but project-specific information. It just allows your computer to screen molecules that may be developed into drugs to fight cancer. Each individual computer analyzes a few molecules and then sends the results back over the Internet for further research. This project is anticipated to be the largest computational chemistry project ever undertaken and represents a genuine hope to find a better way to fight cancer.

The computational power to perform research of this scale is only available through the generosity of individuals like you.
