David,

You might also be thinking of BOINC (http://boinc.berkeley.edu/)
and/or World Community Grid (which uses the BOINC client). Both of
these projects have many different projects you can choose from,
including medical research projects, and several others.

BOINC started as the SETI at home through Berkley and has branched out to
MANY other projects over the years.
