Job Offer
Do you want to make a difference with your work? Creating something valuable, having a positive societal impact?
Meet Biostrand, part of IPA
We are a software company operating at the intersection of biotech, life science, (bio)informatics and AI. We have developed a revolutionary technology to encode and structure omics data (all forms of genetic data) that enables large-scale and fully integrated multi-omics analysis. We dare to say that our technology represents a breakthrough in search and analysis of genetic data.
Recently, we became part of the Canadian company IPA, specialised in the development of antibodies, against diverse and difficult target antigens, which are used for research and therapeutic applications in pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies worldwide.
Combining the unique capabilities of both companies creates an enormous synergy and our mission at Biostrand is ambitious: to develop the next-generation end-to-end omics analysis and drug development platform!
