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:
“One who shows signs of mental aberration is, inevitably, perhaps, but cruelly, shut off from familiar, thoughtless intercourse, partly excommunicated; his isolation is unwittingly proclaimed to him on every countenance by curiosity, indifference, aversion, or pity, and in so far as he is human enough to need free and equal communication and feel the lack of it, he suffers pain and loss of a kind and degree which others can only faintly imagine, and for the most part ignore.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
“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.
“She cannot love,
Nor take no shape nor project of affection,
She is so self-endeared.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
