Collaborative Workbench

Consolidate your data, analysis, and documentation into study-specific workbenches—making every analysis reproducible for both current and future work.

Work with your colleagues using shared notepads, data dashboards, computational environments, and storage, all within a trusted research environment. Control access with fine-grained permissions—from read-only to full write access—enabling confident sharing within your organization and with external collaborators.

Move seamlessly from data exploration to publication. Build cohorts, create dashboards, launch Jupyter or R environments, run batch bioinformatics using Nextflow and WDL. Start in one tool and continue your work in another—all without leaving the workbench. See Data Science and Batch Bioinformatics for more details.

Instantly access powerful computational resources as needed, without the burden of managing infrastructure. Effortlessly scale from quick exploratory analyses to large-scale batch processing. Enjoy transparent, usage-based pricing—bring your own cloud account and use your existing credits if you prefer.

Track and optimize research computing costs with detailed usage analytics and budget controls. Set spending limits, monitor resource consumption, and receive alerts to prevent unexpected charges while maintaining research productivity.

Apply the Five Safes framework (safe people, safe projects, safe settings, safe data, safe outputs) to ensure only authorized researchers access the right data, with robust oversight and governance at every step.

Share sensitive research data confidently with advanced security features, comprehensive audit trails, and full compliance with SOC II Type 2, HIPAA, NIST 800-171, GDPR, Good Clinical Practices (GCP), 21 CFR Part 11, and E-Sign with more standards on the horizon.

Maintain complete transparency with detailed logs of every data access, modification, and sharing event. All actions are tied to individual user credentials, providing clear accountability and supporting both regulatory and institutional requirements.
