===Human Proteome Folding – Phase 1===
{{Main|Human Proteome Folding Project}}

The first project launched on World Community Grid was the Human Proteome Folding Project, or HPF1, which aims to predict the structure of human [[proteins]]. The project was launched on November 16, 2004,<ref name="Completed Research" /> and completed on July 18, 2006.<ref name="Completed Research" /> This project was unique in that computation was done in tandem with the [[grid.org]] distributed computing project.<ref>{{cite web

}}</ref> Devised by Richard Bonneau at the [[Institute for Systems Biology]], the project used grid computing to produce the likely structures for each of the proteins using a Rosetta Score. From these predictions, researchers hope to predict the function of the myriad proteins. This increased understanding of the human proteins could prove vital in the search for cures to human [[diseases]].<ref>{{cite web
