About Tracer

Many scientific teams face two major challenges: the difficulty of debugging complex bioinformatics pipelines and the rising cost of running them at scale. Together, these problems slow the pace of research and drive up infrastructure spend, making breakthroughs in areas like drug development harder to achieve.
