Quartz Bio and the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics are working together to develop and validate MegaClust, SIB's platform for analyzing flow cytomery data, so that they can use it to provide analysis services to pharmaceutical companies.

The partners want to test whether or not MegaClust, which is comprised of a set of clustering algorithms, can be used to "systematically" assess large quantities of data generated from flow cytometry experiments in clinical trials, Jérôme Wojcik, Quartz Bio's CEO, told BioInform.
