ISOLDE is developed and maintained by Tristan Croll at Altos Labs. Development began in the lab of Randy Read at the Cambridge Institute for Medical Research, supported by Prof. Read's Wellcome Trust Principal Research Fellowship 209407/Z/17/Z. Early development and testing was been aided by the generous donation of a GTX Titan Xp GPU by NVIDIA Corporation.
