Research and development capacity for your team.
Like a contract research organisation for computation: consultants, scientists and developers who join your process where the gaps are, from mathematical model to deployed, optimised software.

Our expertise
We are mathematicians and computer scientists who love building bridges between disciplines, with years of delivering software for industry. Since 2014 that has meant, above all, bioinformatics and genomics.
We work with R&D groups in life sciences, academic research and manufacturing, adapting to your architecture, pipeline and timeline, and advising on their design.
Bioinformatics
State-of-the-art genomic analysis, with a specialty in re-implementing and building tools for better runtime and special use cases.
Co-authors of a patent on alignment to graph references
SARS-CoV-2 variant surveillance pipeline, Cinvestav, 2020–23
Genome sequencing data
Alignment, assembly, variant calling and structural variants with state-of-the-art tools such as BWA, GATK and IGV.
Microbiome
Analysis of metagenomic samples: pathogen detection and abundance counts.
Gene discovery
A proprietary pipeline that predicts novel small peptides from multiple-sequence alignment data.
Scientific software
Tailored software for complex problems: we stay with you through the whole process, from mathematical modelling and algorithm design to implementation and optimisation.
Applications and rooms for the Virtual Museum of Mathematics, CCM-UNAM, 2024
Scientific computing
High-performance software built around your requirements: throughput, run time and the hardware you have.
Pipeline integration
End-to-end solutions that non-expert operators can run, with clear graphical interfaces and dashboards.
Infrastructure and languages
AWS and Google Cloud; desktop, web and mobile. The language follows the project: C/C++ for performance, Python or R for prototyping, C# or Java for multi-platform.

Data analysis & modelling
Information extraction, modelling and reporting centred on the decision you actually need to make.
Topological data analysis of antimicrobial-resistance gene transfer, Frontiers in Microbiology, 2025, with CCM-UNAM
Geo-referenced market and competition analysis for a fuel retailer in Yucatán, 2024
A proprietary survey engine designed for discovering opinion groups
Data mining
Artificial intelligence, big data, natural language processing, Bayesian statistics, mathematical modelling, simulation, Markov chain Monte Carlo, topological data analysis and graph databases.
Geo-referencing
GPS data turned into geo-referenced information for data-driven decisions about real-world problems.
Survey analysis
Survey design and analysis on our own engine, built to find the groups that hold distinct opinions.
Car travel time, in minutes, to a proposed site in Mérida, Yucatán. Used to size the study area and compare potential locations for a fuel retailer, 2024. Blue: under 5 minutes; red: about 18.
Two ways to engage
By project
We assess the workload, discuss the deliverables with you and send a quote. Support for bugs continues for an agreed period after delivery.
Best for projects with clear, fixed objectives.
Retainer
Our team joins your R&D team to do the research with you. Goals can be updated and changed as the work evolves.
Best for projects in research mode.
“They really helped bridge the gap from our lab needs to a software solution.”
David Sinclair, Department of Genetics, Harvard Medical School
“We brought on two of these guys and got ten different specialists.”
Thomas Watson Jr., Senior Manager, ArcBio
