Teammate #104 Now is Your Time in the Spotlight



Join us today. All Welcome in this fight against cancer. All needed. Every work unit sent back to Oxford moves us forward. The life you save could be your own. More likely, it will be your child's life. Put yourself in the spotlight. Position 104 is yours for the taking--LOL.

Getting Stronger Day by Day--LOL

Team Andrax. Come crunch some molecules with us.

Props for my Mom! What a Great Job!!!


Since my mom joined our team on 25 April 2005, her computer has generated 126 results returned to the scientists at Oxford. That is simply an outstanding contribution to our team, and more important, to the fight to find a cure. Mom, thanks so much for being a significant part of our team. Posted by Hello

Top 1000 Across the Board!


Congrats to Team Andrax. First time ever, we rank within the top 1000 in all three main stat cats:


Total CPU Time (y:d:h) 24:154:07 #998
Points Generated 5,332,103 #594
Results Returned 20,391 #996

My hat off to everyone on this fantastic team. Crunch on brothers and sisters. Computers can be replaced, lives cannot.

Stallings takes the #86 spot! Welcome aboard Jeff.


Mr. Stallings sinking another putt on a beautiful day. Jeff thanks again for joining this fabulous team. We are so glad to have you on board. Our team is growing day by day and the workunits we are sending to the scientists that need our help is quickly approaching 20,000 for Team Andrax. Our team is also quickly approaching 24 years of combined cpu time devoted. You have joined a great cause and a great team.

Welcome aboard Teemie #86. This train is a rolling--LOL All welcome, come aboard.Posted by Hello

Oxford Wants You!


Ever wanted to say you work with scientists at the University of Oxford on cancer research in your spare time? Join us in the fight against this monster of a disease and it would not be far from the truth. Help us give the scientists at Oxford the data they need to move forward in the search for a cure. We don't need your money, we don't need your time, we just need the cpu cycles you're not currently using. That's it.


"One in four of us will at some time suffer from cancer. The high mortality rate, the suffering experienced by patients from the side effects of existing treatments, and the high costs of treatment all contribute to making cancer a priority for drug research.

A new way to help

A landmark research project has begun that allows people to make a real difference in the fight against cancer.

The United Devices Cancer Research Project is asking you to volunteer your PC to help process molecular research being conducted by the Department of Chemistry at the University of Oxford in England and the National Foundation for Cancer Research. To participate, you simply download a very small, no cost, non-invasive software program that works like a screensaver: it runs when your computer isn't being used, and processes research until you need your machine. Your computer never leaves your desk, and the project never interrupts your usual PC use.

It's safe and easy

There is no cost to participate and no impact on your computer use. The project software cannot detect or transfer anything on your machine but project-specific information. It just allows your computer to screen molecules that may be developed into drugs to fight cancer. Each individual computer analyzes a few molecules and then sends the results back over the Internet for further research. This project is anticipated to be the largest computational chemistry project ever undertaken and represents a genuine hope to find a better way to fight cancer.

The computational power to perform research of this scale is only available through the generosity of individuals like you."
