Based in Rockville, MD, CosmosID is a microbial genomics platform focused on the rapid characterization of microorganisms, pathogens and antimicrobial resistance for infectious disease identification, food safety inspections, pharmaceutical discovery, public health surveillance, and microbiome analysis. They are microbiome experts that rapidly and accurately identify microbes utilizing curated databases.

CosmosID rapidly identifies unculturable and hard-to-detect organisms that traditional methods can not or have difficulty detecting. They also work with clients that want to do microbiome studies but don’t necessarily know how to go about it. Additionally, they provide curated genome databases that are free from the errors that are present in publicly available databases. And they also provide bacterial IDs down to the strain level.
