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.
