Eight years in the making, ProtoGenie Online was designed and developed by Pasadero, Inc., under the direction of Dr. Lawrence H. Boyd. Dr. Boyd was a Professor, School of Social Welfare, The University of California at Berkeley and co-owner of Berkeley Systems, Inc. He is owner and President of Pasadero, Inc., Tempe, Arizona.

Development was funded in part by the Small Business Innovation Research Grant Program of the National Eye Institute, Phase I and II, R44 EY12444- (01-02), entitled "Software Toolkit for Basic & Applied Vision Research." Without this support, it is likely that ProtoGenie would not have happened. Read or download Final Report
