ELIXIR offers a comprehensive consultancy service for Life Science data through a Europe-wide network of specialists experienced in sensitive data handling, federated analytics, data harmonisation, statistical modelling, scientific software development, image analysis and AI approaches. Our experts work with industry partners of all sizes, delivering solutions across domains such as personalised medicine, oncology, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, infectious diseases, environmental sciences and systems biology.

ELIXIR’s consultancy includes advanced AI and machine-learning expertise grounded in real-world Life Science applications. We support beneficiaries in designing and implementing tailored machine-learning workflows for molecular and biomedical image analysis, phenotype classification, pattern detection and other data-intensive research tasks. Our teams also assist with statistical and computational modelling to integrate omics, imaging and clinical datasets, ensuring that AI methods are applied on harmonised, high-quality and well-structured data. When working with sensitive information, ELIXIR provides guidance on legal, ethical and technical considerations that affect AI-enabled data processing, ensuring that machine-learning analyses occur within secure and compliant environments.

As part of our broader consultancy portfolio, ELIXIR delivers harmonisation and standardisation of clinical datasets; ready-to-deploy federated database solutions that enable analysis without exposing sensitive data; and end-to-end development of scientific software and web applications supporting AI and ML workflows. We also advise on omics data-generation approaches (including sequencing, epigenetics, metagenomics, metabolomics and proteomics) that underpin robust machine-learning models. All services can be tailored to the needs of EIC beneficiaries and we provide a free one-hour consultation to identify how ELIXIR expertise can best support each project.
