ICBiome, Inc is a start-up company based in Sterling, VA, specializing in pathogen genomics. Their mission is to provide innovative solutions for hospitals and healthcare agencies to rapidly identify and combat Healthcare-associated Infections (HAI). With a team of experts in genomics, bioinformatics, and data infrastructure, ICBiome offers simple, cloud-based genomics software that utilizes unique machine-learning algorithms to provide the highest possible resolution in pathogen identification.
ICBiome's cloud platform has been recognized for its excellence, having been awarded six grants since 2017, including five from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and one from the State of VA. Their software aims to disrupt traditional methods of HAI control by addressing the challenges faced by large hospitals, such as the unique local lineages of pathogens, colonization of hospital staff, and the lack of resolution in current diagnostic tools. Through their platform, ICBiome enables hospitals to benchmark the efficacy of infection prevention products, pinpoint areas with higher prevalence of local lineages, and proactively identify emerging clusters to prevent potential outbreaks.
