Contributing computational resources to computational biology
Rosetta@home is a distributed computing project run by the University of Washington's Baker Lab that uses the Rosetta software suite to predict and design protein structures. This research is crucial for understanding biological processes and developing new treatments for diseases.
The project not only predicts existing protein structures but also designs entirely new proteins that could serve as drugs, vaccines, or industrial catalysts. This computational approach accelerates the discovery of new therapeutic targets and treatments.
Van Graham contributes across multiple BOINC projects including World Community Grid (43M+ credits), GPUGRID (1.1M+ credits), and Rosetta@home. His diverse participation demonstrates commitment to advancing computational science across medical, mathematical, and astrophysical research domains.
