PS3 – Helping Mankind

With the latest PS3 update, users can now participate in the Folding@home research project to help better understand diseases. PS3 fans are targeting this Sunday as ‘PS3 Folding day’ to demonstrate just how much we care about our fellow beings. More info about the project below…

The Folding@homeā„¢ Distributed Computing Project at Stanford University
Since October 2000, over one million CPUs throughout the world have participated in this distributed computing project. The goal of this project is to research protein folding and misfolding to gain an understanding of how these are related to disease.

Targeted diseases include (but are not limited to) Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and many forms of cancer.

Your participation will help accelerate the understanding of these and other diseases.
