background

On 28th February 1953 James Watson and Francis Crick, two scientists working at Cambridge University (UK) walked into the Eagle Pub and announced “We have found the secret of life”. In fact they had discovered the double helix for which they won a Nobel Prize. This discovery led to the creation of the Human Genome Project in which Watson was deeply involved. Since 1953 many hundreds of genomes have been classified which aids researchers to speed up the R&D processes behind drugs, seeds, and other biological products. The application of computational techniques in support of this explosion of genomic research activity has resulted in the establishment of the field of bioinformatics.

Founded and based in Cambridge UK, Eagle Genomics was named after the pub where Crick and Watson celebrated their discovery. Eagle Genomics specialises in bioinformatics, computational and systems biology, providing rare expertise to clients on an as needed (elastic) basis. Clients include life science companies who wish to use genomic data to discover new products whether they are drugs, agricultural products, or personal hygiene products.

Eagle's staff are leaders in the field of management and analysis of genomic data, including Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). Eagle is also highly experienced in helping customers plan, pilot, and migrate their existing bioinformatics systems into the cloud.

"Eagle is an enthusiastic young company with a great deal more professionalism than many other 'big names'. It is a pleasure to deal with someone you can rely on for impartial decoding of a complex subject."
– Martin Lawrie, Managing Director, Cytocell

When working with Eagle Genomics, customers get the bioinformatics support and solutions that they need exactly when they need it.
