Thank you for joining our "Discovering Dengue Drugs - Together" project!
Your computers will provide the global computing power necessary to identify promising drug leads to combat global infectious diseases.
Our project will uncover drugs to stop viruses belonging to the family Flaviviredae, including dengue, hepatitis C, West Nile and yellow fever viruses.
More than 40% of the world's population is at risk for infection by dengue viruses, and each year millions of people are treated for dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever.
Approximately 2% of the world's population is infected with hepatitis C virus. West Nile and yellow fever viruses also have significant global impact.
There are no drugs that effectively treat these diseases.
With your generous help, we can work together to perform the comprehensive drug discovery calculations that will rapidly point us towards cures for these serious worldwide diseases.
