Dear World Community Grid Members,
----------------------------------------Welcome to the Drug Search for Leishmaniasis (DSFL) project! Leishmaniasis is one of the most neglected tropical diseases in the world. Infections have been increasing with over two million people affected last year. To date, there are no available vaccines to prevent the disease, in spite of multiple research efforts. We, the researchers at PECET (Program for the Study and Control of Tropical Diseases) at the University of Antioquia in Medellín, Colombia, are running DSFL on World Community Grid to search for chemical compounds which may lead to new drugs for treating this disease. We are really looking forward to seeing the results of this project, and sharing the insights we get from it with you. As the project moves forward, we will be certain to keep you updated about our findings and publications in this forum. We really appreciate that you are willing to donate your idle computing time to this ambitious project, which is pioneered in Latin America. If you have any question about the project please do not hesitate to contact us through this forum. Thank you from the research team and the PECET Lab: Carlos Muskus: member name: "carlos.muskus" Rodrigo Ochoa: member name: "rodrigo ochoa" Andres Florez: member name: "aflorez" ======================================================================= Estimados miembros del World Community Grid Bienvenidos al proyecto “Búsqueda de Medicamentos Contra Leishmaniasis” (BMCL). Leishmaniasis es una de las enfermedades tropicales más olvidadas en el mundo. El número de infectados ha estado incrementándose con más de dos millones de personas afectadas el año anterior. A la fecha, no hay ninguna vacuna disponible para prevenir la enfermedad a pesar de los múltiples esfuerzos. Nosotros, investigadores del PECET (Programa de Estudio y Control de Enfermedades Tropicales) en la Universidad de Antioquia en Medellín, Colombia estamos corriendo el proyecto BMCL en el World Community Grid para buscar compuestos químicos los cuales puedan conducir a nuevos medicamentos para el tratamiento de esta enfermedad. Nosotros realmente deseamos ver los resultados de este proyecto y compartir el conocimiento que obtengamos, con todos ustedes. A medida que el proyecto avance, nosotros los mantendremos actualizados acerca de nuestros hallazgos y publicaciones a través de este foro. Nosotros realmente apreciamos que ustedes estén dispuestos a donar el tiempo de inactividad de sus computadores para la ejecución de este ambicioso proyecto, pionero en Latinoamérica. Si ustedes tienen algún interrogante o pregunta sobre el proyecto, no duden en comunicarse con nosotros a través de este foro. Muchas gracias de parte del grupo de investigación y del Laboratorio PECET.

Work units are flowing to the members. We are working on running a script that will opt people into the new application if their settings allow new projects. Please visit your projects page to see if you are able to download Drug Search for Leishmaniasis (DSFL).

I then added a checkmark to allow work. It started flowing about 5 minutes ago.
