CosmosID
CosmosID is a bioinformatics company focused on rapid identification of microorganisms for infectious disease diagnostics, public health surveillance, food safety inspections, pharmaceutical discovery, and microbiome analysis for health and wellness. From a post-sequencing metagenomic sample we identify bacteria, DNA viruses, fungi, parasites, antibiotic resistance and virulence genes, and more within minutes. With the use of our curated genome databases and both sensitivity and specificity >95% we are unmatched in our ability to detect microorganisms in metagenomic samples. The speed and universal nature of the test, and the ability to detect both pathogens and antimicrobial resistance genes at once will improve patient outcomes, shortening the length of hospitalization and avoiding complex therapies to significantly reduce total cost of care.
GIS Cloud
The mission of GIS Cloud is not only to supplement desktop solutions, but extend and enrich their capabilities through the potential the Internet provides. It is a more accessible way of visualizing, analyzing and sharing geospatial data, provided as software as a service, but also available free of charge. Emphasis is on collaboration between colleagues or fellow GIS Cloud users, easy access to data regardless of user’s location and giving a chance to quickly and easily publish maps on the web, share anywhere in the world or use GIS platform to build geo and location aware apps.
