Machine Learning and AI in Biology and Biomedicine - From Promise to Practice

Machine learning and AI are reshaping biology and biomedical research - but making them work on your data isn't easy.

We help researchers apply proven models like XGBoost, SVM, or CNNs to datasets like RNA-seq, single-cell, histology, and clinical records - properly, efficiently, and with biological clarity.

🔍 Where Most Researchers Get Stuck:

  • ❌ Data quantity too low, complexity too high - biological datasets often break naive assumptions
  • ❌ Published models don’t just run - broken code, odd formats, and missing assumptions abound
  • ❌ Preprocessing isn't standardized - one wrong choice can derail everything
  • ❌ Multi-omics integration creates spurious correlations if not handled properly
  • ❌ Validation leaks and test set misuse - a recipe for irreproducibility
  • ❌ Deep model outputs are hard to interpret and hard to publish
  • ❌ Deadlines loom - trial-and-error wastes valuable time

✅ How We Help with Machine Learning and AI

We don’t invent new ML methods - we help apply the right ones, the right way, for your data and goals.

  • - Model selection: SVM, random forest, logistic regression, XGBoost, CNNs
  • - Deep learning for sequence data, histology images, and spatial transcriptomics
  • - Clustering and embedding (UMAP, autoencoders, k-means) for stratification
  • - Proper train/test splits, cross-validation, and leakage prevention
  • - Integration with SHAP, metadata, and biological interpretation tools
  • - Survival models, treatment response modeling, trajectory inference
  • - Figures, methods, and grant supplements - all handled

Whether your focus is histology, patient response, or multi-modal single-cell data, we help you get results that make sense - and meet your timeline.
