BioCOS has acquired recognition for its R&D potential and able to forge collaborations in R&D areas of Life and Biomedical Sciences with prominent scientists in various research institutions such as Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore, Jawaharlal Nehru Center for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR) Bangalore, National Institute of Immunology (NII) New Delhi to mention a few and outside the country with renowned scientists from France, Germany, Sweden and UK in various research areas of prominent national and international importance.

Over the past few years, BioCOS has applied its scientists and engineers' multi disciplinary strengths in computational research in the areas like Systems Biology/ Network Models, Next Generation Sequencing Data, Microarray Data Analysis and Algorithms for Biological Imaging.

Today, we are a strong team of Scientists and Engineers, who are executing and researching multiple R&D activities such as in Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome Traits, Malaria, Cancer, Plants, and Small RNAs. The team taking up various contract based research programs such as in the areas of Next generation Sequencing Data Analysis Algorithms and Computational Platforms (DNASeq, RNASeq, Chip Seq, methylation patterns and data annotation), Nucleolin, NPM1, CARM-1, P53, Protein Kinases and P300 related R&D. BioCOS also has strong R&D programs being executed internally in the areas of biomedical Image Processing, Proteomics and Metabolic Syndrome Diseases.

Apart from product developments, BioCOS focuses to participate (Contract research based) in the R&D development of computational platforms and solutions relevant to diagnosis, prognosis and therapy of various human diseases. The Company has developed and facilitated research solutions and IP in the areas of Metabolic Syndrome Diseases (Diabetes, Obesity, Dyslipidemia, CVD and Hypertension), parasite stage specific diagnosis related markers in Malaria (Severe and cerebral malaria) and some Cancers.

BioCOS thrives to develop sophisticated biomedical imaging solutions with its scientific and industrial partners which intend to be implicated in hand held devices relating to the diagnosis/prognosis of retinal/heart diseases. BioCOS has generated proprietary algorithm for biomedical imaging. 

BioCOS holds several international Research publications and Indian patents to its credit.

About the name BioCOS and logo:

The name "BioCOS" signifies and has been derived from CO (COmputing) S (Systems and Signals) for Biosciences. The three rings inside the hexagonal structure, a very prevalent organic structure, signifies the synergization of Computing (blue ring) with Biosciences ( green) and usage of systems and signals(red) techniques to the field.

4 Cs work culture: Compliance, Credibility, Consistency and Confidentiality

4 Rs results credibility: Research, Reliable, Rapid and Reproducible.
