The challenge

Research teams have ambitious goals to accelerate their discoveries and innovations. To achieve these goals, it’s essential for researchers to efficiently handle bioinformatics tasks. However, many teams rely heavily on bioinformaticians, even for routine analyses and minor edits. This slows down the process of scientific discoveries significantly. By empowering individual researchers with bioinformatics skills, teams can enhance their workflow, boost productivity and allow bioinformaticians to focus on more complex, high-impact questions.

Our solution

We understand the challenge from our own experience. Therefore we offer a comprehensive service to build bioinformatics capabilities within your team. By leveraging our experienced bioinformatics experts and the powerful UniApp analysis platform, we provide the training and tools necessary for researchers to perform their own analyses largely independent. This approach frees up bioinformaticians to focus on more complex and specialized questions, enhancing the overall research output of the department.

Training and Workshops. We offer hands-on training sessions and workshops tailored to your team’s needs, ensuring that researchers gain the skills required to perform basic bioinformatics analyses independently.
UniApp platform. Our user-friendly platform enables researchers to perform a wide range of bioinformatics analyses with ease. UniApp is designed to be intuitive, reducing the learning curve and allowing researchers to quickly adapt to performing their own analyses.
Ongoing support. Our team provides continuous support and resources, ensuring that your researchers can confidently use the tools and techniques they’ve learned. We offer consultation services for more complex issues, ensuring that your bioinformaticians can focus on high-level questions.

Real-world example

An ambitious academic research lab aimed to accelerate their research by enhancing the bioinformatics skills of their team. Recognizing the potential to advance their projects more efficiently, they partnered with Unicle to implement a series of training workshops and adopt the UniApp biomedical data analysis platform.
Researchers quickly learned to handle basic bioinformatics tasks, such as differential expression analysis and pathway enrichment. This newfound capability allowed them to make immediate progress on their projects, driving innovation and discovery.

By reducing dependency on bioinformatics experts, the lab accelerated the dry-lab part of their papers by an estimated 5 months. This shift allowed researchers to focus more on gathering insights, rather than waiting for analyses or updates of visualizations to be performed by others or figuring out how to code themselves. Moreover, bioinformaticians in the team were able to concentrate on more complex analyses and strategic research questions, further advancing the lab’s scientific goals. This proactive approach not only accelerated the lab’s research timeline but also increased overall productivity and research output. The enhanced capabilities of the researchers contributed to the successful completion of several projects and subsequent grant applications.
