Sciome LLC is an innovative research and technology consulting company providing state of the art informatics solutions for the life sciences industry. We specialize in developing and deploying novel bioinformatics, cheminformatics, text-mining and data science solutions for researchers in government, academic and private sector organizations.
High throughput technologies are routinely used to study genomes, proteomes and metabolomes creating a deluge of scientific data. In addition, large volumes of data are available via electronic health records, clinical study reports, government reports, high content images, and the ever increasing amount of scientific literature in peer reviewed journals and on the World Wide Web. Success of scientific endeavors in such data rich environments greatly depends on the careful exploration and interpretation of this data. This has created a large demand for sophisticated tools and highly skilled expertise to enable data-driven discovery.
Our goal is to provide cutting edge, customized and cost effective informatics solutions for efficient data management, data analyses and interpretation. We develop novel quantitative methodologies, design and deliver intuitive software tools, and deploy efficient computational techniques to enable timely and insightful discoveries.
We use comprehensive and cutting edge quantitative methods paired with efficient informatics techniques to solve complex scientific challenges. We work with our clients at all stages of the life science discovery process, starting with hypotheses generation and experiment design, through data analysis using off-the-shelf and custom designed methodologies and culminating with expert help in interpretation of the results. We also provide detailed support for manuscript preparation, formulation of reports, and aid in the dissemination of information using print or online medium for projects that cover a variety of scientific disciplines. Our consulting team includes PhD level Bioinformatics Scientists, Statisticians, Cheminformaticians, Computational Toxicologists, Health Scientists and Computer Scientists with a wide array of experience in government contracting, academic research and the pharmaceutical industry.
We are a light hearted, hardworking, multi-disciplinary team of scientists who enjoy diverse technical challenges and love to work in a team. We share a passion for varied scientific disciplines and we love to learn, experiment and innovate.
We get hired to solve complex, unique and/or recurring scientific challenges. Our consulting engagements range from multiyear research endeavors in support of environmental or health related topics to short term data mining projects in support of specific scientific pursuits. We continue to serve a variety of US Federal Government agencies, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, non-profit research organizations and academic institutes.
