===GO Fight Against Malaria Project=== The mission of the '''GO Fight Against Malaria''' project (launched November 16, 2011<ref name="GO Fight Against Malaria Project-WCG" />) is to discover promising drug candidates that could be developed into new drugs that cure drug resistant forms of [[malaria]]. The 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, to predict their ability to eliminate malaria. The best compounds will be tested by scientists at [[The Scripps Research Institute]] in La Jolla, California, U.S.A. and further developed into possible treatments for the disease.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/research/gfam/overview.do |title=GO Fight Against Malaria Project |work=Research |publisher=World Community Grid |access-date=2013-04-11 |archive-date=2013-04-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130405033145/http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/research/gfam/overview.do |url-status=live }}</ref>
