Our core business lies in applying the tools of Bioinformatics and Data Management to help drive research and development in Biotechnology companies.

Over the years we have worked with a range of companies with wide variety of research programs. We understand molecular and cell biology and, just as important, we understand the business needs of our clients.

We can work with you to design data management solutions that meet the needs of your staff, not just in the lab but also in business development and your IP group. We combine that understanding with first-class technical excellence in writing software, building databases and delivering effective user interfaces.

Our consulting and contract work falls into two categories:

Bioinformatics Consulting

Craic provides bioinformatics consulting services for a variety of applications, including DNA and protein sequence analysis, small RNA and diagnostic DNA primer set design, microarray analysis, and more.

Custom Software Development

We develop custom research data management systems and specialized bioinformatics software that help drive your research programs forward.

In addition, we have leveraged our experience to build packaged solutions for several important applications:
