Turn piles of research scripts into a clean, maintainable platform.

01

Biotech-First Collaboration

Nitro Bio is fluent in both scientist and engineer. We'll set up a direct Slack channel with your team, weekly syncs, and design reviews. Based in Richmond, Virginia with regular visits to biotech hubs.

02

Scale Without Breaking

From 10 to 10,000 users, we build for your next growth phase. We ensure your platform scales with your science - on AWS, GCP, or a PaaS.

03

Modernize Your MVP

We work with your existing code and preserve what works. Turn your R Shiny prototype into a production React + FastAPI application. Transform Jupyter notebooks into scalable APIs.
