About
Folding@home (F@h) simulates the motion of proteins — the molecular machines whose shape determines what cells can do, and whose failures drive disease. Research labs around the world design the simulations; volunteers around the world donate spare cycles on their computers to run them. Together they've produced over 200 peer-reviewed papers and, in 2020, briefly built the first exaflop computer in history.
Director
Greg Bowman, who leads Folding@home and the Bowman lab at the University of Pennsylvania.
Research consortium
The labs that propose and analyze Folding@home simulations — Bowman, Chodera, Voelz, Huang, Shukla, Lindahl, and others.
Volunteers
Forum moderators, translators, FAQ writers, and community developers — the people who keep the software useful.
