We are pleased to inform you that World Community Grid has launched a new project called Drug Search for Leishmaniasis!
Leishmaniasis is one of the most neglected tropical diseases in the world. Each year this disease infects more than two million people in 97 countries. To date, there are no available vaccines to prevent the disease.
The researchers at the University of Antioquia in Medellin, Colombia, are running the Drug Search for Leishmaniasis project on World Community Grid to identify drug compounds that could possibly be developed into treatments for Leishmaniasis.
Please join us and donate your unused computer time to help search for a cure to one of the most neglected tropical diseases in the world.
For more information about this exciting project, please go to the Research overview on our website.
