Multi-Omics for Every Scientist

By Jean Lozach on Jun 2, 2020 7:29:21 AM

I’m convinced, and I know most of you are too, that we will not get to a complete understanding of diseases and biology in general without looking behind a multi-omics lens. While NGS radically democratized access to genomics information with RNA-seq, for example, the complexity of other assays like ChIP-seq and the ensuing challenges in combining different types of data analyses have limited the wide scale adoption of multi-omics approaches.

Poster: Genomic Modalities to Drug Development for S. Mansoni

By Jean Lozach on Jul 16, 2019 8:05:48 PM


Schistosoma mansoni causes schistosomiasis, a disease of poverty that infects approximately 200 million people worldwide. Treatment of the disease relies on praziquantel (PZQ). With the expanding use of the drug, there is a fear over the development of resistance. It is, therefore, important to discover new drugs and drug targets.

I'm really happy to announce  another poster and research project utilizing ROSALIND, our analysis and collaboration platform for genomics.

Rosalind® Overcomes Limitations Found in Existing Data Analysis Tools

By Jean Lozach on Oct 11, 2017 3:19:41 PM

Our mission is to transform how cancer researchers and biologists analyze their data (at SCALE)!

Advanced bioinformaticians deserve all of the credit for building state-of-the-art applications to analyze genomic, proteomic, and microarray data.  While these tools remain the lifeline of genomic analysis, more simplified user experiences are now required to empower today’s cancer biologists to focus on their research application, not which software application to use.
