If you need to scale to 139 locations, when no one else can, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire

BUT WE THANK YOU!!!

The Charity : the reason of computing What? a globally distributed lab

Goal? We’re aiming at discovering how our body’s serum protein glycosylation works. We want to know how high blood sugar levels present in diabetes patients affect the complex sugar production systems required for our health and ability to fight disease. We want to prove the theory that when small changes in this process start occurring, the disease can progress and lead to Type 2 diabetes. The results from this work will not only help understand the human diabetic state at the molecular level but also lead the way for early detection of diabetes.
