Is anyone else using there spare computing power to help find a cure for cancer?

I'm an active member of a team called MyOnlineTeam, on a project called World Community Grid.

The aim of World Community Grid is to allow PC users to donate their spare processor power to the project, to 'crunch' DNA & protein data collected by research institutes. The results of these tests help scientists work out how a protein develops, and how we can use this information to find cures for diseases such as cancer and malaria.
