For those who don't know, it's a SETI@Home kind of thing where they're doing distributed analysing combinations of molecules against a proteine related to cancer, in hopes of finding a cure for cancer. They've had 12 proteines analysed in the first fase of the project, of which 10 are already completely tested in the labs of Oxford university (organizor of the project). The second fase is already well under way.
That link leads to the Giraffe }{unters team page, which is a team Giraffe Hunter set up for Quake3World. Back then it ended up in a big riot. Oh the drama
I'm still running it and kinda forgot about it, until recently when my gf asked about it.
You can also set it up to unravel the human genome, which is pretty cool as well.
