Tony DeBone of Little d Technology recently signed a software support
contract with Scripps Florida of The Scripps Research Institute. Tony
traveled to Palm Beach, Florida in January, for one week.
The Scripps Research Institute is the world's largest, private non-profit
biomedical research facility. Since its founding in 1961, the Institute has
become internationally recognized for its basic research into immunology,
molecular biology, cell biology, chemistry, neurosciences, autoimmune
diseases, cardiovascular disorders, and cancer research. While the nature
of the work at TSRI is basic and aimed at the discovery of fundamental
knowledge, research in these fields continues to have significant
ramifications for stroke and heart disease, cancer, neurological disorders,
viral diseases, alcoholism and chemical dependency, diabetes, autoimmune
diseases, and kidney dysfunction.
Tony was the Lead Developer on the team that originally designed the
software he will be supporting at TSRI, while he was working for CellTech in
Seattle. Where did Scripps find their software expert? In beautiful La Pine,
Oregon, of course!
