Project description
The Computational Analytics Support Platform (CASP) aims to support researchers in understanding complex chemical and biological systems via application and development of advanced data driven and computer-based modelling tools and strategies. CASP provides support and training for life science researchers in the analysis of experimental data from a wide range of technologies including, but not limited to, primary downstream omics (metabolomics/proteomics), spectroscopy and imaging.

We have a panel of data scientists who offer their expertise to customers via several different types of support packages, as well as via tailored solutions. We are also involved in training of life science researchers at different levels, as well as promoting advanced data analytics knowledge in the scientific community via invited lectures, webinars etc. CASP customers come from Umeå university and SLU research groups and platforms, other universities in Sweden and Europe, as well as from industry.
