Recently, for the first time, Stanford’s Chemistry Department did a look back at research highlights from the last (2013-2014) academic year done in the Department.  Folding@home is prominently highlighted: https://chemistry.stanford.edu/events/chemistry-year-review

Over the weekend, we had an issue with one our key servers that handles the stats update.  The sysadmins have taken care of it and the stats update is now…

In the past couple of years, Xuhui Huang’s group at HKUST (http://compbio.ust.hk/) has performed large-scale molecular dynamics simulations at Folding@Home (Project 2974-2975) to investigate the mis-folding of the hIAPP (human…

I’ve been an independent researcher at UC Berkeley for the past three years and have now accepted an Assistant Professorship at Washington University in St Louis.  I’ll start the process…

Last month Professor Pande gave a webinar/Q&A covering Folding@home’s next steps and accomplishments. Click on the link below to listen to and view the presentation- http://on-demand.gputechconf.com/gtc/2014/webinar/gtc-express-folding-at-home-webinar.mp4

The Bowman lab is beginning a new effort to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying vision and the origins of inherited forms of blindness.  As a starting point, we’ve launched some…

In the Stanford Big Data conference in 2014, I gave a talk which gives an update on our drug design efforts, summarizing a bit on how FAH works to design…

As those familiar with Folding@home (FAH) know, we’ve developed FAH to help simulate protein folding so that we can better understand how proteins get misfolded and cause diseases like Alzheimer’s,…

Just a reminder of the webinar tomorrow.  I’ll present a brief summary of what FAH has done and where we’re going and then take questions. This webinar is planned for…

Due to concerns brought up by donors that the short work units of our NaCl Folding@home client may negatively impact the bonus point system (by allowing donors to cherry pick WUs…
