About Viratech Corp.
Based in Stockton, California, Viratech Corp. has created a unique biotech research and development platform, leveraging the utility of social collaboration, which is designed to allow cancer research the opportunity for the first time to become open sourced. This will be accomplished by allowing the company’s development partners the ability to protect, promote and produce their research in unified online collaboration hubs known as micro social networks. Viratech’s open source platform has integrated several intellectual property tools which, by leveraging its social collaboration network, can give the company’s development partners a new intellectual property mechanism, which will help in addressing the protection of Intellectual Property, promotion through collaboration in the company’s protected open source platform, and commercial development of the products achieved through collaborative research.
Using this platform, Viratech members can protect their intellectual property, then use Viratech’s micro social network as a utility to promote and crowdfund the research and development to produce the new technology.
