Prototypes and Tools

COSBI transforms ideas into software prototypes, which can be used by a large community of scientists

As part of our research efforts, we develop state-of-the-art computational tools to build up a biology pipeline encompassing data extraction and integration, biomarker identification, pathway analysis and modeling and simulation. All our prototypes are supported by specific publications and by their applications in different contexts. See case studies
