===Drug Search for Leishmaniasis===
'''Drug Search for Leishmaniasis''' (launched September 7, 2011<ref name="Drug Search for Leishmaniasis-WCG" />) is spearheaded by the [[University of Antioquia]] in [[Medellín]], [[Colombia]], with assistance from researchers at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas. The mission is to identify potential molecule candidates that could possibly be developed into treatments for [[Leishmaniasis]]. The extensive computing power of World Community Grid will be used to perform computer simulations of the interactions between millions of chemical compounds and certain target proteins. This will help find the most promising compounds that may lead to effective treatments for the disease.<ref>{{cite web
