Experiments in the wild

Early experiments
from TheBioHub

TheBioHub Labs is our home for small, carefully built products at the frontier of bioinformatics, scientific publishing, and academic lab infrastructure — things we want to ship and test in the real world before deciding what becomes part of the rest of TheBioHub.

Experiment №1

Lab Branding

Raise your lab's public profile and make a confident first impression on grant reviewers, peer reviewers, editors, and the next generation of scientists.

Built for academic labs

You get every field your lab actually uses, built in from day one — publications, active projects, funders, trainees. Add alumni, software releases, or clinical trials whenever you have them.

Customizable theme

Your visual identity, your call. Pick the colours, typography, and hero imagery yourself — or hand it 100% over to us. Either way, the layout stays clean and content-first, and you can reskin anytime.

Hands-off updates

Send us updates by email — new papers, new trainees, new grants. We'll have them live within 48 hours. No login, no portal, no learning curve.

Branding & domain

We draft your lab logo and tagline together, AI-assisted, always included. Bring your own domain (e.g. yourlab.ca), or we register a new one for you.

No tech skills required

Code? File structures? Deployment? Domain setup? None of it lands on you. Tell us what you want; we deliver, you give a final thumbs-up.

Hosted on AWS Calgary

We host your site on Amazon Web Services in Calgary, so your data is stored, served, and backed up entirely within Canada. We monitor it around the clock, with AWS's 99.5% uptime SLA behind everything.

Experiment №2

ARCade

Tell it what you want in plain English. ARCade runs the pipeline on ARC for you.

Plain-English chat

Type "Basecall and demultiplex mouse gut samples". No job scripts, no commands to memorise.

Pre-tested pipelines

Every job starts from a template we've tested on ARC. The AI tailors it to your request — your samples, your kit, your settings.

AI on ARC

Google's Gemma model, tuned by us and running on a shared ARC server. No cloud AI service, no subscription.

Your data stays put

ARCade never reads your data itself — only file names, to run the pipeline, and output and log files, to check how the job went.

Answers, not error logs

ARCade keeps an eye on your job, explains failures in plain English, and checks that the output looks the way it should.

See it live

Join us at the HUB workshop on November 6, 2026, where we'll walk through how to use ARCade together.
