The four founding scientists, Gary Long, Ph. D., Beverly L. Mangold, Ph.D.*, Thomas W. O'Brien, Ph.D., and William M. Nelson, M.D. (CDR, US Navy Ret.), have been leaders in the development of state-of-the-art diagnostic technology for use by the Joint Program Office for Bio-defense (JPO), the Department of Defense (DOD), FBI, and DOE. These scientists bring their extensive expertise and skills to Tetracore Inc. in order to provide these same organizations with an expanded production capability, greater flexibility in the development of new technology, and the ability to innovate in an entrepreneurial atmosphere. Tetracore's strong scientific team and powerful technology base positions the company at the forefront in the development and production of today's important detection tools for Clinical, Animal Health, and Domestic Preparedness Testing.
