Synaptic Leap - Online Communities for Science

The Synaptic Leap
"The Synaptic Leap is a new organization dedicated towards providing a network of online communities that connect and empower scientific and medical researchers to conduct open-source style research. We fully believe that if you combine the talents and knowledge of these amazing professionals that there is almost nothing that can’t be solved. We will provide the community and project infrastructure for these professionals to collaborate and share. There is no need for each team to solve the same software problem again and again. As each new project plugs into the network, the community potential to discover cures will grow exponentially.

The mapping of the human genome is an example of a successful, open, collaborative effort in the medical research field. With that complete, we are on the cusp of significant medical changes and breakthroughs. It’s time to take medical research to the next level. Our beta community is malaria and our first partner and customer is The Tropical Disease Initiative.

* It’s time to communicate.
* It’s time to collaborate.
* It’s time to make the leap!"
