Our Story
Dovetail Biopartners began as a bioinformatics-focused consulting group, helping translational teams make sense of complex omics data. As our clients' needs expanded, we grew with them, building expertise across cloud infrastructure, data engineering, workflow automation, advanced analytics, and scientific interpretation.
Today, Dovetail is a full-stack scientific and data partner. We support the entire data lifecycle, from designing cloud environments and automating pipelines to delivering analysis, modeling guidance, and clear scientific narratives. Our team brings together cloud architects, bioinformaticians, data scientists, and translational experts who understand how to build reliable systems and extract meaning from biological and clinical data.
As our work deepened, we created VelSight—a suite of tools that give teams a clearer, faster way to work with their data across any cloud. VelSight removes the friction that slows progress and amplifies the impact of our services.
What has stayed constant is our partnership model. We work side by side with clients to clarify questions, interpret results, and support the decisions that move programs forward. Whether you are generating your first dataset or scaling toward advanced analytics and clinical applications, Dovetail is here not just to deliver work, but to accelerate insight.
