	12 Aug 2009 – Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy - Phase 1 publishes an article in Journal of Grid Computing - Springer
		From Dedicated Grid to Volunteer Grid: Large Scale Execution of a Bioinformatics Application
	Tags: Publications and Presentations

	12 May 2009 – Launch of the Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy - Phase 2 Project
		The mission of the Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy - Phase 2 project is to investigate protein-protein interactions for more than 2,200 proteins whose structures are known, with particular focus on those proteins that play a role in neuromuscular diseases. The database of information produced will help researchers design molecules to inhibit or enhance binding of particular macromolecules, hopefully leading to better treatments for muscular dystrophy and other neuromuscular diseases.

	19 Dec 2006 – Launch of the Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy Project
		In order to understand how proteins perform their necessary functions in living cells, a better and more detailed understanding of function and protein-protein interactions is required, to ultimately help researchers to design therapeutic strategies.
