His discoveries are now being applied in virtually all areas of biomedicine -- from basic research to the development of new therapies. The work has already proved of great benefit in the study of cystic fibrosis.

A Brief Tutorial on the Erlang Language and Its Relationship with Other Concurrent and General-Purpose Languages

Background reading: Concurrent Programming in Erlang
Erlang is an open source language that makes it easy to create and manage processes using message passing instead of locks. It supports a high level of concurrency. Code in a running system can be hot-swapped. Applications include message switching systems, including ones at Ericsson (where the language was developed), Amazon's SimpleDB, and Facebook's Chat.
