About Code Ocean

We’re living in the era of Computational Science

Computational Scientists are at the epicenter of breakthrough life science research today. We help them do their work.

Bioinformatics is more important than ever

Three trends make Computational Scientists some of the most important people working in Life Science R&D today.

Data Management Colour@8x Massive data A massive and increasing flow of heterogenous data from labs and public databases.
Cloud Compute@8x Cheap compute An abundance of relatively cheap cloud storage and compute, primarily driven by AWS.
Machine Learning Colour@8x AI/ML acceleration A significant acceleration of developments in data science, AI, and machine learning.

But it’s still a huge challenge to work in this discipline:

$ 28 B
Spent on non-reproducible preclinical research every year
74 %
Of publicly-available R files fail to run without errors
96.8 %
Of Jupyter notebooks aren’t reproducible as documented
Accent image

That’s why we’ve built the industry standard for computational Life Science R&D

Compute Scalability@8x Easy to provision and scale in the cloud Launching something in the cloud is difficult and frustrating if you don't know how, or if you don't have the support. It should be easy to start and scale.
Collaboration@8x Simple to work together with peers

It should be easy for computational teams to work together. Nobody should need to say or hear "but it works on my machine" ever again. 
Reproducibility@8x Fully reproducible, traceable, and reusable

Reproducibility and traceability is vital for progress. It's also important for quality assurance, publications, mergers and acquisitions, and the FDA...
Data Architecture@8x Avoids tech debt, improves architecture

Inconsistency in environments, data, and versions compound over time. It should be much easier to have solid data architecture without slowing down.

Our mission is to champion the Computational Scientist

The people working at the intersection of data, science, and mathematics are already making incredible breakthroughs. We're here to help them make even more.
