Cloud bioinformatics platform to help biological teams accelerate their R&D.

Drug notes:

Long description:

LatchBio is building infrastructure to create a code-free platform to aid the biocomputing revolution. Generating wealths of data from wet-lab research is now the norm due to lower costs and easy-to-follow protocols. However, processing and analyzing the data is not trivial due to fragmentation of tooling across biology and bioinformatics teams. LatchBio is bridging this gap with their integrated platform for bioinformatics that enables scientists to discover biological insights from their data. Raw data is imported into the platform, workflows are created and run, and biological insights are then visualized with point-and-click plots. The no-code interface can accelerate biological breakthroughs by centralizing a team’s database and supporting parallel processing of thousands of samples.
