Why it exists

Genomic-scale research outgrew standard software solutions.

Population-scale genomic research often requires navigating fragmented data and specialized technical infrastructure before a single question gets answered. Variant analysis and cohort stratification can be slow and often out of reach without dedicated bioinformatics support. And pharma and health system partners need governed, audit-ready environments.

Research Workspaces closes that gap with cloud computing in genomics. Built on Databricks, it gives research teams a secure trusted research environment.

Everything a research team needs to go from cohort to analysis.

Population-scale genomic analysis

Scalable compute and specialized analysis solutions for GWAS-style studies, PheWAS, and gene burden testing. Research Workspaces delivers high-performance cloud computing in genomics for large-scale genetic research.
