There is a problem here:

Me donating computer processing time will /not/ just miraculously cure 
my neighbor of cancer.

There are middle men involved to catalyze my computing power into saving 
  my neighbor's life. Who are they? What is their agenda? What 
constraints are imposed to them?

If all the change this project brings to the world of pharmaceutical 
business is to offload the IT costs onto naive private PC owners, then 
it wouldn't do any good.

You don't /think/ so - but are there any explicit statements about these 
matters?
