===Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy – Phase 1===
{{Main|Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy}}

Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy is run by [[Décrypthon]], a collaboration between French Muscular Dystrophy Association, [[CNRS|French National Center for Scientific Research]] and [[IBM]]. Phase 1 was launched on December 19, 2006,<ref name="Active Research" /> and completed on June 11, 2007.<ref name="Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy Phase 1 complete" /> The project investigated [[protein–protein interactions]] for 40,000 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.<ref>{{cite web
