Computational Biology Services

Developing in silico solutions in the areas of drug discovery, precision medicine and treatment of genetic disorders

We develop and deploy in silico solutions that complement the traditional lab-based approaches to accelerate drug discovery and development for biopharma R&D. We build multi-omics (Genomics, Transcriptomics, and Proteomics) solutions for our clients by blending the concepts of bioinformatics and computational biology with advances in AI/ML, Cloud, Data, and DevOps.

Our Strengths

Multi-Disciplinary Teams

Blended expertise in science (Biology, Chemistry) and technology (AI/ML, Data, and Cloud) helps us to seamlessly collaborate with our client’s biopharma R&D teams and build enterprise-class vertically integrated in silico solutions

Building Blocks

Reusable and easily integrable in silico components for next-generation sequencing, multi-omics pipelines, knowledge graph creation, and computational infrastructure provisioning, accelerating solutions development

Customizable Solutions

End-to-end cloud-hosted solutions and pipelines for conducting multi-omics analysis, GWAS, mRNA discovery, next-generation sequencing, and knowledge hubs that help biopharma R&D teams to accelerate drug discovery and development

Drug Discovery

As researchers repeatedly iterate in developing optimal drug lead candidates, computational methods advance the field by narrowing potential candidates, providing faster results, and augmenting the wet lab processes. We develop in silico solutions to efficiently navigate ever evolving complex multi-dimensional data and interconnections, at scale, thereby accelerating drug discovery and development

Genomics

  • A variety of high-throughput next-generation sequencing technologies to transform the analysis of B cells and their antibody repertoires

Transcriptomics

  • In silico platform to design complete end-to-end sequences of mRNA therapeutic candidates
  • Single-cell transcriptomics to separate cells into functionally different populations and understand cell functions based on the transcribed genes read more…

Proteomics

  • In silico models such as antibody structure prediction and antigen docking, to complement and accelerate in vitro/in vivo experiments.
  • Mass spec based pipelines for quantitative profiling of biomolecules such as antibodies read more…

Genetic Disorders

Therapeutic advances like gene therapy and antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) therapy help correct genetic disorders. We build gene therapy pipelines for the identification of efficient viral vectors, investigation of safety profiles, prediction of off-targets, and recognition of targets for Antisense oligonucleotides (ASO)

Genomics

  • An automated pipeline to identify and harvest naturally occurring viral vectors from fused genomes and produce more efficient, broad tropism viral vectors.
  • Optimized Vseq toolkit for the analysis of viral vector fusion events
  • GWAS pipelines to associate variants to a disease

Transcriptomics

  • Differential gene expression to understand alternative splicing patterns, therefore, better target identification.
  • Prediction of splice junctions from transcriptomics data to estimate inclusion/exclusion of an exon
Solution area

Precision Medicine

Precision medicine uses information about a person’s genome/proteome to diagnose diseases or adjust medications exclusively for that person. We build custom high-throughput multi-omics analysis solutions to gain insights into genotype to phenotype associations, understand elusive molecular mechanisms, and develop innovative precision treatment options.

Genomics

  • Clinical genomics studies to enable better/informed stratification of patients into groups and sub-groups.
  • Genome analysis to identify genetic variants that may identify responders from non-responders.

Transcriptomics

  • Gene expression studies to identify therapeutic targets and gene expression signatures, helping to predict response to therapies, such as cancer

Proteomics

  • Biomarker-driven approach to predict the likelihood of therapeutic response.
  • Quantitative measurements enable characterizing a protein’s biological proces read more…
Building Blocks
