ViroDyn
ViroDyn collaborates with researchers to design, implement, and maintain production-grade pipelines and interactive tools tailored to your datasets. You define the problem. We build the solution free for you, and open to others only if you choose.
What we do
A focused, professor‑first engineering partner for computational biology.
Custom pipelines
We design and deploy end-to-end workflows for sequencing, variant analysis, comparative genomics, quality control, annotation, and visualization. Every pipeline is tailored to the specific datasets, organisms, and goals of your lab, ensuring a perfect fit for your research environment.
Research tools
We build interactive web applications that answer your lab’s most pressing questions. From genome aligners and motif analysis to genome viewers and VCF exploration, each tool is built around your data formats and analytical needs, delivering real utility in day-to-day research.
Collaborative design
We work directly with professors and lab members to define requirements, iterate quickly, and produce maintainable systems that your team can rely on. Every build is accompanied by clear, accessible documentation so your group can use it with confidence.
Free of charge
We currently build for academic researchers at no cost. You bring the ideas and the data, and we provide the engineering, testing, and delivery. If you choose, we can also make your system open to benefit the wider scientific community.
How it works
From request to deployment in weeks, not months.
Apply
Tell us about your datasets, organisms, and bottlenecks. We work with you to clearly define the scope, technical requirements, and success criteria. This includes identifying key data formats (FASTA, FASTQ, BAM/CRAM, VCF, GFF/GTF, GenBank, etc.) and the outcomes you need, whether for research, diagnostics, or public datasets.
Prototype
We rapidly develop a functional prototype tailored to your problem, integrating your datasets and target workflows. You test it in your real lab or research environment, providing direct feedback to guide improvements. This agile loop ensures the tool is accurate, usable, and ready for production.
Deliver
We harden, document, and deploy the final system for your exclusive use, free to you as a collaborating researcher. If you choose, we can also make it open for the wider scientific community. Post-deployment, we provide ongoing technical support, updates, and refinements as your research evolves.

FAQ
Who is this for?
Academic labs and research groups that need tailored pipelines or tools for their specific datasets and workflows.
What tech do you use?
Whatever fits: containerized tools, declarative workflows (Nextflow/Snakemake), HPC schedulers (SLURM), or cloud (K8s/AWS/GCP).
How fast is delivery?
Prototypes in days; productionized tools in weeks depending on scope and environment.
What does it cost?
Currently free for academic labs. You bring ideas and data; we bring engineering and delivery.
