15 Dec 2014 – New imaging tools accelerate cancer research |
|
|
|
The Help Conquer Cancer research team at the Ontario Cancer Institute continues to analyze the millions of protein-crystallization images processed by World Community Grid volunteers, by building new classifiers based on a combination of Grid-processed image features, and deep features learned directly from image pixels. Improvements in image classification, along with new data provided by our collaborators increase possibilities for discovering useful and interesting patterns in protein crystallization. |

16 Nov 2014 – Decades of Discovery: Here’s to the next 10 years of humanitarian science |
|
|
|
We’ve reached the end of our six-week decade of discovery celebrations - marking 10 years of scientific success. Since October, we’ve been revisiting key projects from the last decade and highlighting some of the fantastic achievements that you’ve helped make possible. We’ve also been running a competition to encourage more people to join World Community Grid. We’d like to thank you again for your support and remind you why it’s so important to keep spreading the word... |
