The company

Galaxy development experience

Founded in October 2019, Sci-Scale focuses on building and scaling scientific data analysis on Galaxy.

Our founder is a long-standing Galaxy core committer and co-author of the platform's most-cited papers and work spanning genomics, workflow systems and reproducible research. Today that expertise drives client projects for universities and EU-funded work on sustainable scientific computing.

Areas of expertise
  • Galaxy core & framework development
  • Tool & workflow engineering
  • Job scheduling & metascheduling (TPV)
  • Caching, deduplication & storage optimisation
  • Distributed & HPC compute (Pulsar)
  • Reproducible software distribution (Conda/Bioconda)
  • Provenance & reproducibility
  • Carbon- & cost-aware computing
What we value

Principles behind the work

Open by default

We work in the open and contribute to the projects the community depends on.

Reproducible science

We version and test every tool, workflow and environment, so results hold up years later.

Sustainable compute

We treat wasted energy, storage and computation as engineering problems to solve.
