• Folding@home

  HKN is doing their part to support Stanford's distributed computing project, Folding@home!

  "Folding@home is a distributed computing project, that very simply stated, studies protein folding and misfolding."

  Protein folding is linked to disease, such as Alzheimer's, ALS, Huntington's, Parkingson's disease, and many Cancers. Distributed computing shares the computational load, allowing normal (but awesome) individuals like ourselves to make a difference.

  Of course, by HKN, we mean the HKN computer!
