Company
History and Background
Genolyze was founded in 2003 in Turku, in Southern Finland, where the main office is still located, in the premises of Turku Science Park. Three years later, in March 2006, Genolyze opened another office in Helsinki, where today most of the R&D personnel work.
The company was started by a group of enthusiastic scientists with multidisciplinary backgrounds - mathematics, statistics, bioinformatics, biology, genetics, physics and computer sciences. They recognized the problems encountered with high throughput screening technologies, and the difficulties researchers have when utilizing vast amounts of data. The aim of the company, already from the start, was to provide a full service of data analysis for researchers who use high-throughput screening methods, and for those who wish to have assistance in interpreting the genomic data obtained from DNA microarray experiments.
To be able to utilize the latest statistical and computational methods, most of the personnel have continued their academic careers as well. Also, the idea of a team with thorough knowledge of bioinformatics and versatile expertise in all life sciences was from the beginning, and still is, what Genolyze is striving at - also when recruiting new co-workers.
Furthermore, in order to gain synergy and to add to the general knowledge base, Genolyze participates actively in different networks and also collaborates with academia and companies in the same business area.
