Koonkie works with big biological datasets from all over the planet (with implications beyond), helping to find therapeutic targets, kick-start environmental recovery and reclamation, discover new species, uncover life's strategy for survival on distant planets, and more. As experts in bioinformatics (processing, analyzing and interpreting DNA data), Koonkie specializes in working with large datasets to extract valuable and actionable insights - a process that involves expertise across many disciplines including: computer science, statistics, and biology. We’ve worked with NASA, major universities, mining giants Teck Resources and Rio Tinto, and many other organizations to tackle big data problems.
