Nonlinear Dynamics company profile

Nonlinear Dynamics was founded by our CEO, Will Dracup, in 1989 and has headquarters in Newcastle upon Tyne, on the north-east coast of England and a US office in Durham, North Carolina. We develop software for proteomics and metabolomics research which is designed to generate reliable conclusions that are reproducible across-labs. Our approach has been applied to label-free LC-MS and 2D gel image data analysis. We released our first software for proteomics research under the Phoretix brand. Major advancements led to the introduction of the Progenesis brand in 2001. The invention of SameSpots was the turning point for 2D gel image analysis. Using advanced image alignment prior to analysis was a revolutionary new approach which helped solve the challenges faced by proteomics researchers. Fully aligned data and no missing values is the cornerstone of the Progenesis range, and allows researchers to perform robust statistical analysis.
