=== Smallpox Project ===
The ''Smallpox Research Grid'' was a part of United Devices "Patriot Grid" initiative to fight biological terrorism.  This project helped analyze potential drug candidates for a medical therapy in the fight against smallpox virus. It made use of the "LigandFit" software (that had already been used by phase 2 of the Cancer Research project), but with a specialized set of target molecules that targeted the [[smallpox]] virus.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://grid.org/projects/smallpox/about.htm|title=About The Smallpox Project|publisher=grid.org|accessdate=2006-08-20|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927132908/http://grid.org/projects/smallpox/about.htm|archivedate=2007-09-27}}</ref>
