What do we mean "data service"? We provide research scientists with an easy to use website for uploading and downloading data to/from an online relational database. We automate all data processing and quality assurance. We also build tools for data analysis, transformation, summary, and visualization.

Our data systems are:

• Secure - You tell us your data security requirements, we will meet them.

• Custom - Your system is tailored exactly to your data and your research program.
