Bioinformatics
Delivering timely, high quality data in the right formats is crucial to the success of virology clinical trials. Cerba Research has developed unique pipelines specifically for the analysis of viral and microbiome NGS data. Our Athena pipeline was designed for analyses of virology data and has been tested on HBV, HCV, RSV, CMV, HIV and SARS-CoV-2 while the 16S microbiome pipeline is a bacterial pipeline using next-generation sequencing data of the 16S region. We can also customize our existing pipelines or develop tailor-made new pipelines for customers.
Our team of experienced scientists and bioinformaticians work together to provide fully GxP and FDA compliant pipelines that have been scientifically validated. We can help customers to set up data transfer formats following CDISC standards.
Athena virology pipeline
Athena analyzed over 20,000 samples and was involved in 73 clinical trials. It is tested on a number of viruses, such as HBV, HCV, RSV, CMV, HIV and SARS-CoV-2. Other viruses can be included on request. A pipeline specifically designed for the analyses of virology data. Using the Athena virology pipeline, you have access to the following features:
Fast Q Files
Fast Q genotyping
Sample composition
Sample contamination QC
Reference conversion
Custom file format output
PDF report per sample
Custom pipeline development
Based on your requirements we can develop a custom pipeline for you
Every project has a dedicated project manager who ensures scope, planning and delivery of your pipeline.
Together with your own scientists we design the pipeline to fit your needs. This is where our scientists come in to assist you on the scope of the project and the specific needs for your type of analyses.
We have broad experience with open-source tools and if needed we have the ability to develop a pipeline in Python.
We can assist you on running the pipeline on your own environment (on-premise or cloud) or we can offer you access to the pipeline on its own secure high performance computing platform.
At Cerba Research we offer you completely scientific validated pipelines. The software is fully auditable and reproduceable. Our systems are GxP and 21CFR part 11 compliant to ensure record authenticity, integrity and confidentiality. Every pipeline comes with one or multiple scientific validation reports where we prove that the analyses performed by the software is indeed scientifically correct.
GxP & FDA
All our pipelines are fully compliant to GxP requirements and are built following the guidelines of the FDA.
Data management
We have a dedicated data management department who can help you in setting up data transfer formats following CDISC standards and setup the output of the data in a compliant format.
