I work in the medical research space and we have LIMS (lab info management systems for people outside this niche) and am consistently amazed by the number of companies trying to get into our IT systems with lab management packages. It's a very tough space to break into it and my recent experience is that the big EMS/EMR vendors are increasingly trying to offer "modules" to do LIMS and bioinformatics analysis pipelines. Every now and again I start thinking about unsupervised learning projects in this space but look around and see just how little spend on analytics software there is for bioinformatics tools and settle down to focus on helping folks with our cluster and general reporting needs . . .
