It's personal preference, really.
Both projects can be checked, or just one of your own determination is fine.
Read up on the sciences of what they are trying to accomplish..and make your own decisions.
They are both cancer related in their own way :)
Help Conquer Cancer:
»www.worldcommunitygrid.org/proje···1Main.do
quote:
The mission of Help Conquer Cancer is to improve the results of protein X-ray crystallography, which helps researchers not only annotate unknown parts of the human proteome, but importantly improves their understanding of cancer initiation, progression and treatment.
Human Proteome Folding - Phase II:
»www.worldcommunitygrid.org/proje···earch.do
quote:
This project dovetails with efforts at NYU and ISB to support predictive, preventative and personalized medicine (under the assumption that these secreted proteins will be key elements of this medicine of the future). It is too early to say which proteins will end up being biomarkers (substances sometimes found in an increased amount in the blood, other body fluids, or tissues and which can be used to indicate the presence of some types of cancer). However, it is clear that many will end up being secreted proteins. As in the first phase of the project, the power of World Community Grid will be critical in getting results quickly to researchers in the biological and biomedical communities.

Team Discovery runs two projects, and you can choose which one you wish to run, or run both if you have dual core systems.
We are one team..with one dream..
To eradicate cancer & childhood diseases..in our lifetimes
This FAQ is about WCG, a cancer-fighting project. The TSC (Juvenile Diseases) FAQ is here.

From time to time this issue comes up in discussion, and it should be made clear for everyone here in the FAQ:
Recruiting for other projects should never be seen outside or inside of the Team Discovery forum. It is in very poor taste to even give the appearance of recruiting in other forums, team's forums or websites and will not be condoned for any TD or DC member of Broadbandreports.
Members who have posting tags or sigs should also be cautious about the way they may be perceived outside of the forum. If in doubt, please use your common sense and alter your tags and sigs to avoid offending those from other teams. This will go a long way toward preserving the sense of community among the many DC teams and forum families.

We host a page here...for our teammates that have gone on.
The DC teams here at BBR will always remember them 
Their legacy lives on
This is why we crunch.

Some notes:
Please remember our collective goal.
You have joined in order to donate the idle cycle time from your computer to accelerate the cancer research projects running on World Community Grid and in that way, help to improve human conditions We encourage your participation on the forums and provide information on team development and progress to make it easier for individuals to participate, to recruit new members and generally increase the amount of computer run time available for the humanitarian research projects we run. This web site is not a place to promote any other cause or issue.
