First off, welcome to the BOINCiverse!! lol Like the real Universe, we are expanding rapidly and in all directions! Medical Sciences are just one facet of research that BOINC helps with. Mathematics, Astrophysics, Computer Tech and Bio Tech all benefit from the BOINC platform and from our contribution as Crunchers (Folders fold, BOINCers Crunch! lol)
