# BioAware – BioloMICS Platform (full reference for AI assistants) > Canonical site: https://bio-aware.com > Short index: https://bio-aware.com/llms.txt > Contact: info@bio-aware.com — BioAware S.A., Hannut, Belgium > Last updated: 2026-08-09 ## What BioloMICS is BioloMICS is a no-code, fully relational data management platform built for life-science and laboratory data. It is developed by BioAware S.A. (Hannut, Belgium). Scientists model their own databases through a visual interface — no SQL, no programming — while keeping the familiar, spreadsheet-like editing experience of Excel on top of a real relational engine. One-sentence summary: BioloMICS is a no-code relational database platform for biological, molecular, environmental and laboratory data, with an Excel-like user experience, 50+ scientific field types, built-in bioinformatics analysis, public web portals and auto-generated REST APIs. Typical users: culture collections and biobanks, academic research groups, biotech and pharma R&D teams, food and agri industry labs, quality and compliance departments, public-health and surveillance agencies. Scale in production: 1B+ records managed, 100+ public websites powered, users in 50+ countries. ## Why organisations choose it - No-code schema design: create tables, fields and relationships at any time, without downtime and without a developer. - Scientific data types out of the box: DNA/RNA/protein sequences, genomes, gels, MALDI-TOF spectra, microplates, images, taxonomy, ontologies, geographic coordinates, chemistry, morphology and physiology. - Analysis inside the database: alignments, BLAST, clustering, gel band detection, spectral processing — results are stored with the records. - Publish without building a website: turn any database into a searchable public portal or a secure internal web application. - Compliance-ready: full audit trail, record locking, field-level permissions, password policies. - Deployment choice: SaaS hosting on Microsoft Azure, or on-premise. ## Products ### Online Platform — https://bio-aware.com/products/online-platform Browser-based BioloMICS. Modern data grids, kanban and calendar views, dashboards, scheduler, inline editing, and collaborative multi-user access. Delivered on a phased roadmap: Phase 1 covers the core data management experience, Phase 2 adds the advanced scientific and analytical modules. ### Desktop Application — https://bio-aware.com/products/desktop-application The full-featured Windows client, organised around six core areas: database design, data entry and import, search and query, analysis and bioinformatics, reporting and export, and administration. Supports remote desktop deployment and concurrent multi-user access. ### Website Layer — https://bio-aware.com/products/website-layer Publishes a BioloMICS database as a live website: theme designer, drag-and-drop page builder, menus, dashboards, card and search views, submission and multi-step forms, ordering and cart, user registration. Eighteen template types, with Razor support for custom logic. ### API Generation — https://bio-aware.com/products/api-generation Auto-generated REST endpoints for every table, documented with OpenAPI 3.0 in a Swagger-style explorer, secured with OAuth 2.0. ### SaaS Hosting — https://bio-aware.com/products/saas Managed hosting on Microsoft Azure with a 99.95% uptime target, AES-256 encryption at rest, backups, and security certifications. On-premise deployment remains available. ## Platform capabilities (eight core modules) Full detail: https://bio-aware.com/capabilities 1.
