BioResearch Assistant
Literature mining, pseudonymisation, MII export — on-premise, in your infrastructure. No cloud. No hidden dependencies.
Why it exists
Clinical research data usually cannot simply go to the cloud. Existing tools ignored that — or required complicated workarounds. BioResearch Assistant is built for exactly this case: pseudonymisation at the data holder, interoperable interfaces when needed, full control over your own infrastructure.
What it concretely does
BioResearch Assistant combines literature mining, privacy-conscious pseudonymisation and MII-oriented export — for on-premise use in research and clinical settings. GA4GH-oriented interfaces are ready when you need to connect to broader research infrastructure. Optionally, the Locus module adds a fully locally operated RAG stack for clinical bioinformatics.
No certification promise — concrete compliance with GDPR, or other requirements is the operator's responsibility. We provide a technical foundation with a focus on data protection.
What it is not
- Not a cloud service — operates in your own infrastructure.
- No formal certification (ISO, MDR, HIPAA).
- No automatic compliance — responsibility lies with the operator.

| Pilot (first customer) | Free or symbolic — we want real feedback, not an early invoice. |
