Integromics

Integromics was a global bioinformatics company headquartered in Granada, Spain and Madrid. The company had subsidiaries in the United States and United Kingdom, and distributors in 10 countries. Integromics specialised in bioinformatics software for data management and data analysis in genomics and proteomics. The company provided a line of products that serve gene expression, sequencing, and proteomics markets. Customers include genomic research centers, pharmaceutical companies, academic institutions, clinical research organizations, and biotechnology companies.

Integromics was acquired by PerkinElmer in 2017.

History
Integromics was founded in 2002 as a spin-off of the National Center for Biotechnology (CNB / CSIC) in Spain and the University of Malaga. Principal founder Dr. Jose Maria Carazo was motivated by a market need to develop new computational methods for analyzing data, with the company's first product addressing the needs of the microarray data analysis market.
