Any Alzheimers or Parkinsons projects currently active ?

Post by PFM »

I have set my cause preferences to Alzheimers and Parkinsons but I dont seem to be getting any cpu WUs for that. I get cancer and covid and other projects but not these. Is it because there arn't any currently active folding projects for these causes ?
This is cpu only btw, no gpu.

I would have to go through all of the descriptions, but at least one Parkinson's project (14939) is running. However it is using Core_22 and GPU processing. I recall seeing an Alzheimers project a few weeks ago, but don't remember who was running it.

I don't recall what projects were being done by Dr. Bowen's lab at WUSTL. Those currently are inactive while being relocated. Dr. Bowen accepted a faculty position at UPenn effective with the Fall semester and servers are still in the process of being relocated from WUSTL and be put back in service at UPenn.
