Distributed Computing
Pande currently is the Director of the Folding@home project. The protein folding simulations from Folding@home quantitatively compare to experiment, which is often considered a "holy grail" of computational biology.
Pande also directed the Genome@home project, the goal of which was to design new genes and proteins for the purpose of better understanding how they evolve and operate. Genome@home concluded in early March 2004, and accumulated a large database of protein sequences, which will be used for important scientific purposes for many years by the Pande Group and many others throughout the world.

Famous quotes containing the word distributed:
“Indiana was really, I suppose, a Democratic State. It has always been put down in the book as a state that might be carried by a close and careful and perfect organization and a great deal of—[from audience: “soap”Ma reference to purchased votes, the word being followed by laughter].

—Chester A. Arthur (1829–1886)
