Accelerate discovery through tailored data mesh architectures
Excelra builds Data Mesh architectures tailored to the complexity of scientific data. From multi-omics and assay outcomes to clinical records and Real-World Evidence (RWE), we help you move beyond centralized bottlenecks to a model where data is accessible, interoperable, and AI-ready.
How we engineer your data mesh
Scientific data product engineering
We create “Scientific Data Products” engineered for discoverability and reuse across the R&D chain.
- Interoperability: Seamless integration across bioinformatics, pharmacovigilance, HEOR, and commercial analytics.
- Standards-Based: Built-in compliance with CDISC, SNOMED, MedDRA, and scientific ontologies.
- Traceability: Every product includes defined SLAs, lineage visibility, and domain-specific metadata.
Self-Service scientific platforms
Stop filing IT tickets for data access. We engineer cloud-native platforms that simplify ingestion, transformation, and annotation for scientists and biostatisticians.
- Multi-Modal Support: Handle everything from structured clinical data to unstructured research notes and raw instrument files.
- Independence: Domain teams can publish and consume validated datasets without relying on centralized engineering.
Federated governance for regulated environments
We implement governance models specifically aligned with Pharma and Biotech regulations.
- Compliance Automation: Automated frameworks for GxP, HIPAA, and GDPR.
- Unified Cataloging: A centralized view of all scientific datasets, ensuring secure and traceable data flows while maintaining the flexibility needed for experimentation.
A data strategy built for scientific workflows
Generic enterprise architectures often fail in life sciences because they cannot handle the nuance of biological data. Our strategy centers on domain knowledge.
We start with a detailed readiness assessment covering scientific standards, FAIR principles, regulatory constraints, and ontologies. The result is a framework where your scientific teams operate as autonomous producers and consumers of high-quality, trusted data products.

Use cases: Where data mesh delivers value
End-to-End R&D visibility
Unify data across discovery platforms, translational studies, and clinical trials. Enable business teams to access validated cross-domain views that accelerate molecule progression.
AI-Ready bioinformatics
Create harmonized datasets for QSAR models, ADMET predictions, and biomarker discovery. Standardized data products significantly reduce preparation time for ML pipelines.
Real-Time clinical operations
Improve trial monitoring and patient recruitment efficiency by linking datasets from EDC, CTMS, eCOA, and safety systems in near real-time.
RWE & commercial insights
Combine insurance claims, EHR, and genomics data into federated products for HEOR modeling and longitudinal patient journey insights.
How data mesh reduces dependency on central engineering

1. Domain-Oriented decentralized ownership
We assign end-to-end responsibility to the business domains (e.g., Genomics, Clinical Ops). These teams treat data as their product, managing quality and schema rather than waiting for a central team to do so.
2. Data as a product
Domain teams build data products specifically for consumers. This includes clear documentation, defined SLAs, and robust discoverability. The domain team ensures the data is consumption-ready, removing the central bottleneck.
3. Self-Serve data infrastructure
Domain teams manage the data, but they don’t build the servers. A small central team provides a “Data Platform as a Service” with automated tools. This allows domains to provision and manage data autonomously without needing deep infrastructure engineering support.
4. Federated computational governance
Instead of top-down bureaucracy, governance becomes collaborative. We establish universal standards and interoperability protocols that ensure security while allowing domains the freedom to innovate.
The central engineering team transforms from a “ticket-taking” execution team into a strategic platform enabler.
