Projects
Virtual Museum of Mathematics
C3 Idea · CCM-UNAM and Sociedad Matemática Mexicana · 2022–25
In collaboration with Dr. Nelly Selem of CCM-UNAM, C3 designed and developed applications and rooms for the Virtual Museum of Mathematics: research and content selection, user experience, implementation and support. The museum’s applications are distributed across five rooms, and it opened on 7 August 2024.
C3 with CCM-UNAM colleagues at the opening, 2024
The museum’s credits name the C3 team, 2024
Metagenomic co-occurrence networks
C3 Idea · CCM-UNAM, Morelia · 2022–25
Design and implementation of an algorithm for co-occurrence network analysis of metagenomic data.
SARS-CoV-2 variant surveillance
C3 Idea · Mexican genomic surveillance consortium, Cinvestav · 2020–23
In Dr. Alfredo Herrera’s bioinformatics team at Cinvestav, we configured the processing chain for SARS-CoV-2 samples, used to detect variants and follow the virus’s evolution in Mexico.
Bioinformatics research and development
C3 Idea · Cinvestav Irapuato · 2022–23
Research and development in bioinformatics, including specialised databases and artificial intelligence implementations.
GeneFinder
C3 Idea · Sinclair Lab, Harvard Medical School · 2015–18
A platform for discovering small peptides of medical interest in the human genome.
“They really helped bridge the gap from our lab needs to a software solution.”
David Sinclair, Department of Genetics, Harvard Medical School
Geo-referenced analysis
We map travel time and coverage for market studies and social and environmental impact assessments.
Both practices use it: C3 Idea to size study areas and compare locations, C3 Consensus to understand who a project affects. Client names are withheld.
Car travel time, in minutes, to a proposed site in Mérida, for a market study, 2024. Blue: under 5 minutes; red: about 18.
Air-quality sensor coverage around schools in San Pedro Garza García, for an impact assessment, 2025. Blue-grey: schools. Green: existing sensors. Orange and red: main roads.
