Recebi agora um mail do WCG, mais um projecto excelente! Vamos lá pessoal, ainda para mais com os desenvolvimentos que tem havido sobre uma possível pandemia da gripe Suína, H1N1.World Community Grid has started a new research project that will use your donated computer time to find new drugs that can stop the spread of an influenza infection in an individual. The research will specifically address the influenza strains that have become drug resistant, as well as new strains that are appearing. Your computer will help identify the chemical compounds that are the best candidates. This will accelerate the efforts to develop treatments that would be useful in managing seasonal influenza outbreaks and future influenza epidemics.

A rapaziada do WCG anda sempre em cima do assunto
EDIT:
Um quote que acho interessante:
This will likely not lead to any immediate treatments for influenza during the current H1N1 outbreak. However, influenza viruses cause recurrent seasonal disease outbreaks and have the potential for evolving into dangerous forms. Thus, proceeding on this project at this time will give us a better chance to be prepared for more serious outbreaks in the future.
