The Problem

Lab-bench biologists find it difficult to use many existing tools for their data analysis. These tools are generally command-line computer programs written by computational biologists. Computational biologists do not have time to create user-friendly interfaces for their programs, and often find themselves spending a lot of time helping leb-bench biologists run their programs. This creates a burden for all involved: lab-bench biologists cannot move forward with their data analysis, and computational biologists cannot move forward with their research.

Biologists lack technology that suits their needs and skill sets. We identified two main shortcomings: the first is difficulty in using code written by computational biologists. The second is a lack of a good system for tracking different variations of experimental procedures.

We are, in no particular order: Rebecca Taft, Sumaiya Nazeen, Michael Maddox, Avanti Shrikumar
