We undertake software development projects for clients in the Life Sciences and Healthcare domains that are directed towards creating high quality, low cost solutions to common problems that academic laboratories and commercial organizations face with biological data retrieval, organization, integration, mining and visualization. This problem has grown more acute in recent times with the availability of large amounts of raw information from large scale genome sequencing projects and the use of genome wide experiments to analyze biological processes. These have, on one hand, enhanced our ability to probe living systems in unprecedented detail and, on the other, exposed the astounding complexity of biological sytems that necessitate the use of more powerful tools than ever before.

Our team of experienced Molecular Biologists, Bioinformaticians, software architects and engineers can help you in your research by designing software that is customized to your specific requirements and research needs. We have several decades of combined research and software development experience in C++/VB/Java and Perl from organizations such as MIT, Univ. of Rochester, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Wyeth, Millennium Pharmaceuticals, OSI Pharmaceuticals, etc. Our team members are experienced in high throughput gene expression profiling platforms such as Affymetrix™ GeneChip™, SAGE and MPSS and data mining of transcriptional profiling data for disease and pathway analysis, comparative genomics of plant and vertebrate genomes and have developed automated procedures for the analysis of novel targets from druggable protein family classes (GPCRs, proteases, kinases, ion-channels etc.) for the development of new drugs for human metabolic, malignant and infectious diseases.

We follow the iterative model of software development and use standard methods that involve formulating the appropriate use cases, preparing requirements documentation etc., that clearly outline the scope and the functionality of the software. Importantly, we work closely with the client and ensure product quality and timely delivery. For more information and a quote, please write to PerlSource along with details of your requirements.
