Using EGEE against avian flu
Distribution des sites EGEE dans le monde, infrastructure sur laquelle la recherche sur la grippe aviaire a été menée.


Date: 01 May 2006

During April 2006 avian flu was spreading across the world with the potential of turning into a pandemic, a drug to treat the deadly H5N1 strain was needed. Such a task required the huge processing power provided by EGEE, which analysed 300 000 possible drug components for their suitability. This map shows the network of computer centres and their activity during this time.

Au cours du mois d'avril, à l'aide de la grille de calcul européenne EGEE, des laboratoires asiatiques et européens ont analysé 300000 composants de médicaments potentiels pour le traitement du virus de la grippe aviaire H5N1.
