Hi :

My request is simple. I have been diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and would like that the Scientific Community and Rosetta@home to work with a cure or treatment that may help to prolong or cure this condition. My request may sound selfish but been honest I am scared. In the bright side I am in stage 2 and taking care of myself.

There are studies that Quercetin, Egcg , vitamin D and NAC may help to slow the progression of CLL and curiously enough those substances may help against COVID19. Maybe a treatment against COVID19 could help against CLL.

I hope that the Scientific Community and Rosetta@home gets involved in a project to cure or treat CLL.

I would check over at Folding. I think they do that type of thing once in a while.

And this might be of interest:

Best of luck.

PS - They now allow you to select your area of interest in the Folding control program.
So you could probably customize your work a little there.

I'm sorry about your diagnosis, I hope you're doing well.

The team has already designed a protein with anti-cancer properties, clinical trials will start soon.
