The GO Fight Against Malaria project, launched on November 16, 2011, has completed processing the computational portion of their research. The Scripps Research Institute researchers thank World Community Grid members for making this project possible by contributing over 28,000 CPU-years of computing power. The project screened 5.6 million commercially available compounds against 22 different classes of potential targets. In the process they have found chemical compounds which appear to be interesting potential drug candidates. Further research will further test these compounds in the laboratory and try to modify the compounds to make them even more effective so they might eventually become treatments.
