About

SciDAP was developed by Datirium. Datirium was founded in 2016 by Dr. Artem Barski and Andrey Kartashov, scientists from Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.The team came together when Dr. Barski needed the assistance of a bioinformatician for analysis of his NGS data. After realizing that providing the biologists in the lab a way to analyze the data by themselves was more efficient, the pair developed their first data analysis platform. Since then, SciDAP has emerged as an easy-to-use platform for semi-automated analysis of sequencing data such as bulk and single-cell RNA-Seq, ATAC-Seq, ChIP-Seq, CLIP-Seq, BS-Seq, CUT&RUN, CUT&TAG and other types of data.

The company has received funding from the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) phase I grant program administered by the National Human Genome Research Institute, a part of National Institutes of Health, and a $150,000 Phase II grant from the Ohio Third Frontier Technology Validation and Start-Up Fund (TVSF).

Leadership

Andrey Kartashov

Mr Kartashov is a scientific programmer who performed data analysis in areas ranging from space science to physical chemistry and now for functional genomics. He is the developer behind SciDAP, a platform for analysis of epigenomics and transcriptomics data that helps researchers to organize, visualize, analyze, store and share vast amounts of NGS data and results.

Artem Barski, PhD

Dr Barski is an epigenomics pioneer and a faculty member at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. During his post-doctoral training at NIH, he took part in the development of ChIP-Seq. Now he is working on epigenomics of T cells and developing computational and wet lab tools for functional genomics.
