Applied
SysBio
Applied SysBio LLC provides data analytics consulting, specializing in projects that span data science, molecular/omics technologies, and computational biology/bioinformatics.
Common deliverables are:
- formulation of experimental design including quality controls
- identifying appropriate analytics algorithms and implementing them
- benchmarking algorithmic workflows (for proprietary data)
- statistical analyses of (processed) datasets
- processed data interpretation and translation (molecular hypothesis generation)
Applied SysBio strives to understand project scientific (biological) questions/goals, provide appropriate data driven solutions, and support translation (molecular hypothesis generation/ recommendations for next steps). This approach holds that "cookie cutter" solutions do not really exist; projects require customization whether it is in data wrangling/QC, algorithmic processing, and/or tertiary analysis of algorithmic outputs (e.g., comparing to public datasets, mechanisms reported in literature).
Applied SysBio LLC is founded by Dr. Joost Groot, a passionate scientist and engineer with a cross disciplinary background that spans molecular physiology, synthetic biology, biochemical engineering, bioinformatics, and data science (both wet-lab and computational).
Joost has worked in the biotechnology industry for 10+ years as computational biology lead on drug/target discovery programs and platforms (biomarkers/precision medicine in neurodegeneration and immuno-oncology) as well as in biomanufacturing (upstream process/cell line development for biopharmaceuticals and renewable chemicals), at companies from early start-up to fortune 500.
In his spare time Joost is an outdoors enthusiast who loves to hike, run, ski, and sail.
