Company mission
To help scientists reach their next breakthroughs faster and with less effort.
Our take
As biology develops and moves away from bench science into data science, the ability to handle vast amounts of sequence data and run bioinformatics workflows is fast becoming an integral part of the work process.
Making these jobs easier for biologists is Form Bio, the first technology spinout from Colossal Biosciences, the scientific innovation company known for its goal of bringing back the wooly mammoth. Form Bio is a Texas-based company offering a comprehensive suite of workflow solutions that allow scientists to reach discoveries and breakthroughs in less time with less effort.
A massive pain point for many biologists is having to learn code in order to do their job, so it's no surprise there are plenty of scientists itching to get their hands on Form Bio's user-friendly software. With its software critical in paving the way for faster breakthroughs in scientific discoveries, along with the support of its parent company, Form Bio is well-positioned to become a leading player in the evolution of data science.
