Computing a Cure for HIV

June 27th, 2014 / in big science / by Ann Drobnis

UIUCOn June 26, the National Science Foundation (NSF) released a Discovery article titled Computing a Cure for HIV, written by Aaron Dubrow, Public Affairs Specialist in the Office of Legislative & Public Affairs.  The article provides an overview of the disease and how it continues to afflict millions of people worldwide.

Over the past decade, scientists have been using the power of supercomputers “to better understand how the HIV virus interacts with the cells it infects, to discover or design new drugs that can attack the virus at its weak spots and even to use genetic information about the exact variants of the virus to develop patient-specific treatments.”

Here are 9 projects that are using supercomputing and computational power to help fight the disease:

  1. Modeling HIV: from atoms to actions
  2. Discovery of hidden pocket in HIV protein leads to ideas for new inhibitors
  3. Preventing HIV from reaching its mature state
  4. Crowdsourcing a cure
  5. Virtual screening of HIV inhibitors
  6. Membrane effects
  7. Computing patient-specific treatment methods
  8. Preparing the next generation to continue the fight
  9. A boy and the BEAST

You can read more about these projects in the full article here.

    I am from Holland, I want to use this medium to testify of how i got
    cured totally from an incurable disease HIV Aids, I contacted this disease
    when i was 23, I have been taking all medications for this disease, my life
    was gradually coming to an end, until i saw a post on the internet about a
    spell caster who cast healing spells to heal all kind of diseases, at first
    i doubted it because i never believed in spells but decided to give it try,
    when i contacted this spell caster, he helped me orchestrate a healing spell
    and after 3 days 72hours he asked me to go for test, when i did to my
    greatest surprise i was confirmed Negative -, now i am free from the
    diseases, i am more than happy, i owe my life to this great spell caster,
