Life sciences

During the last years we assisted to a rapid knowledge development in biology and biomedicine also due to the use of informatics instruments for computing and data processing.

Experimental analysis performed by several analytical techniques provided and still provide a wide number of protein sequencing related information. The improvement in biochemical field induced the development of genome sequencing procedure for several organisms including the man.

Those data, most of them freely available, constitute the main resource for research laboratories, pharmaceutical industries, biotech companies, and clinics of all the world. Thanks to these data, to other techniques and algorithms for analogic research, protein structures determination or gene expression functions identification are nowadays easier, and in general, they allow better understanding of disease mechanisms and new treatments identification.

In order to manage and elaborate with efficacy this wide amount of data, High Performance Computing technologies took a fundamental importance and HPC availability is a competitive key factor for new drugs research and development and to reduce market immission time.

Aethia provides HPC complete solutions, equipped with main bioinformatics tools, customizable according to requirements.

Our specific expertise and the competence network we offer to the customer, makes Aethia an ideal partner for bioinformatics R&D projects in outsourcing and scientific collaborations.
