Why#
In recent years, the growing complexity of R&D data has become so prohibitive that it often blocks scientific progress.
We build data infrastructure for biology, enabling data scientists and engineers with a shared data layer for R&D teams of any size.
We aim to do what git and GitHub did for code for R&D data and help integrate wet & dry labs, humans & AI, knowledge & data, and siloed teams & organizations.
Team#
Founders: We build the tools we wish we had.
Alex Wolf: Scientific computing & software since 2009. Created Scanpy & led build-up of a compute platform for drug discovery.
Sunny Sun: Biology across the dry and wet lab since 2012. Focus on genome engineering & cell biology in health & disease.
Engineers:
Bernardo Penteado: Mechanical engineer turned genome miner, intrigued by ontology design patterns.
Frederic Enard: Tech CTO fascinated by computational biology.
Sergei Rybakov: Core contributions to Scanpy and explainable autoencoders.
