Tools for
cancer research

We build research tools for cancer. A data collection platform that researchers use today, and a research environment that is still being built. Most of it is open source.

What we build

Data Collection Platform

A tool for researchers to ask detailed questions about microbe-cancer pairs.

Subjectmicrobe-cancer pairsBuilt forresearchersStatuslive

OncoVectra Studio

An integrated research environment. Like Jupyter, but with reactive cells, dataset versioning, run provenance, and one-click sharing. Turn ideas into reproducible results faster.

How we work

We think research goes faster when computation is immediate. Change a parameter and see the result while the thought is still in your head.Bret Victor's work on live feedback is the reference point for how we build.

Open source
By default. Code and environments are public unless there is a reason they cannot be.
Reproducible
Locked environments, containers, CI/CD. Last month's result runs the same today.
Interactive
Live feedback and clear outputs.
Reliable
Boring infrastructure and sensible defaults. We would rather be dull than paged at 3am.
