Repurposing an existing drug against the leads we have found from Folding@home
We are continuing our work with AD in terms of repurposing an existing drug against the leads we have found from Folding@home. The benefit of this approach is that this…
Read moreUsing Folding@home to understand the fundamental behavior of kinases
FAH researchers Dr. Diwakar Shukla and Dr. Morgan Lawrenz have been using Folding@home to understand the fundamental behavior of kinases, key molecular targets in cancer. A paper on these results…

We assisted Chris Garcia’s lab with their work with Interleukin 2 (IL-2), a protein which assists the immune system in fighting pathogens and cancer tumors. While injecting a patient with…
Read moreSimulating forms of Pin1 WW domain
We are simulating many forms of Pin1 WW domain, a protein implicated in some cancers and Alzheimer’s disease. Understanding the role of mutations on misfolding can have important biomedical consequences.
Read moreStudying the folding of ubiquitin
We’re studying the folding of ubiquitin, a small regulatory protein found in almost all cells in human body. It is part of a large regulatory system that labels other unneeded…
