Since the beginning, 12th of June 2005, to now they have discovered 6 mega primes, 3 Fermat number divisors, and over 4000 titanic primes. A great success that from the project thank the BOINC community who are collaborating with them. Form more information, visit their web site.

World Community Grid has announced the launch of the Influenza Antiviral Drug Search project by Dr. Stan Watowich and his research team at The University of Texas Medical Branch (Galveston, Texas, USA). Stan Watowich and his team  are collaborating with researchers from the Galveston National Laboratory at UTMB (Galveston, Texas, USA) for testing of drug candidates. The goal of the Influenza Antiviral Drug Search project is to find new drugs that can stop the spread of an influenza infection in the body. The research will specifically address the influenza strains that have become drug resistant as well as new strains that are appearing. Identifying the chemical compounds that are the best candidates will accelerate the efforts to develop treatments that would be useful in managing seasonal influenza outbreaks, and future influenza epidemics and even pandemics.
