Before the rest of the world started talking about “Big Data”, the life sciences had already been snowed under by large amounts of data that sat in silos across several databases. At Metaome we are commited to help make sense out of this data. We do this by intelligently connecting the dots. Ram and Kalpana, the founders at Metaome brought domain focused informatics experience to the table to solve this problem. From the onset it was clear that conventional database technologies that were tied to fixed schemas would not yield satisfactory solutions. New paradigms that allowed expressive and open-ended exploration of the relationships across the data needed to be developed. Metaome’s flagship product DistilBio, combines proprietary graph search and data integration technologies to accelerate drug discovery by connecting across diverse data in the life sciences. For the first time scientists have an easy to use, intuitive tool for knowledge discovery and data-driven hypothesis generation. DistilBio also has applications in a wide range of related verticals including personalized medicine, data driven clinician decision support and basic life sciences research.
