Solvuu is a data science company for life scientists. We provide a cloud-based data management platform with standardized access to data, tools, and visualization across biological data formats. We have defined a system rich enough to harmonize all the myriad data formats used in life sciences, specifically bioinformatics, thereby liberating scientists to focus on science. Our technology abstracts away the format of the data, allowing users to focus on the semantic content of the data.

Instead of having to learn and utilize numerous tools, each of which works on just one data format, with Solvuu, you can convert, transform, filter, search, analyze and visualize over all data formats through a single framework. Access our framework in three ways: a web UI for ease and interactive visualizations, a CLI for scripting and bulk operations, or an API for building your own applications.
