The Human Proteome Folding Project (HPF) is a collaborative effort between New York University (Bonneau Lab), the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) and the University of Washington (Baker Lab), using the Rosetta software developed by the Rosetta Commons.
The HPF project is currently in Phase 2, which is running exclusively on the World Community Grid. Phase 1 ran on two distributed computing grids: the World Community Grid, an IBM philanthropic initiative, and on United Devices' grid.org.
The Institute for Systems Biology designed the Human Proteome Folding project for World Community Grid and will use the results within its larger research efforts.

Famous quotes containing the words human, folding and/or project:
“‘Tis happy, therefore, that nature breaks the force of all sceptical arguments in time, and keeps them from having any considerable influence on the understanding. Were we to trust entirely to their self-destruction, that can never take place, ‘till they have first subverted all conviction, and have totally destroy’d human reason.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want, like an armed warrior.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 6:10.
“Music is so much a part of their daily lives that if an Indian visits another reservation one of the first questions asked on his return is: “What new songs did you learn?””
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
