===Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy – Phase 2===
{{Main|Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy}}

World Community Grid and researchers supported by Decrypthon, a partnership between AFM (French Muscular Dystrophy Association), [[CNRS]] (French National Center for Scientific Research), Universite Pierre et Marie Curie, and IBM were investigating 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]]. Phase 2 was launched on May 12, 2009,<ref name="HCMD Phase 2 launch" /> and completed on September 26, 2012. 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

Phase 2 of the Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy project began once the results from the first phase had been analyzed. Phase 2 ran on the [[BOINC]] platform.<ref name="bbover3" /><ref>{{cite web
