This news story suggests a possible project: a search for new antibiotics:

The medical establishment has been harping for years about indiscriminate use of antibiotics and it seems to have fallen on deaf ears for the most part, although attitudes are gradually changing. It is up to some researcher(s) to put together a project and find some funding and then approach WCG about how they could help. Let us not get the cart before the horse.

This is off topic , but the best thing you can do to help your immune system is take 1000-2000IU of Vitamin D-3 (has to be D-3) - if you don't get much sun. If you do get a lot of sun but wear protection, it might still be necessary. Vitamin D is essential for everything from cathecidins (involved in immunity) to bone formation and even to prevention of things like hypertension, Parkinsonâs disease and heart disease.

I would say IBM is already looking into such things. Maybe WCG could get in on someof it...
