One secure place to access and analyze your data
NashBio delivers your licensed data straight into a secure workspace equipped with BigQuery and JupyterLab, so your analysts can start querying it in SQL, R or Python without moving a single file.
Skip the delivery project
A real-world data license often arrives as a delivery problem first. Files move between environments, storage costs accrue, egress fees appear, and a security review stands between your team and the first query. Meanwhile the vendor's experts are working somewhere else entirely, so every follow-up question becomes another email with a file attached.
Real-time access, familiar tools
Your licensed data is delivered into the NashBio Portal, a secure research environment included with the license, where your team queries it in place using the tools they already know: SQL in Google BigQuery, R or Python in JupyterLab, or the command line.
Access is real time rather than a file handover, and there are no egress or transfer costs. Because NashBio specialists can work in the same workspace on the same data, a question your team raises in the morning can be answered in the notebook that afternoon.
From a hypothesis to a defined study
| Component | What it does | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Data Dashboard | Size cohorts and check clinical criteria before licensing a dataset | Confirms fit before a license is signed |
| Google BigQuery | Write SQL directly against patient-level data | No new query language to learn |
| JupyterLab | Interactive analysis in R or Python with adaptable example notebooks | Your analysts start from working code |
| NB Person Catalog | Searchable patient-level availability for genomic, imaging and waveform layers | Confirms a layer exists for your cohort before purchase |
| Knowledge Hub | Data dictionaries, best practices, getting-started guides and FAQs inside the workspace | Fewer blocked afternoons waiting on an email reply |
| Technical support | Email access to NashBio technical experts, plus live onboarding training | A named route when something breaks |
| Outputs | Download aggregate and summary-level statistics and figures, subject to the terms of service | Findings leave the environment, patient-level data does not |
Built into the way your analysts already work
I like how you can use BigQuery to test out different queries, and slim down to a cohort, and then once that is finished, you can use that same query to load the data into a Python environment.
Getting your team set up
The Portal suits teams whose analysts work in SQL, R or Python and want patient-level access without standing up a new pipeline. Onboarding covers workspace creation, account provisioning and live training, and your IT team receives the short list of Portal domains to allow, so access is ready before the first session.
If your team would like to see the linkage first hand, schedule a technical demo of how the specialty tables join to the longitudinal clinical data.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Where is NashBio data analyzed?
- In the NashBio Portal, a secure research environment included with your license. Licensed data is delivered there in real time rather than handed over as files, and your analysts query it in place using SQL in Google BigQuery or R and Python in JupyterLab. NashBio specialists can work in the same workspace.
- Are there data egress or transfer fees?
- No. NashBio charges no egress or transfer costs for working with your licensed data in the Portal. Because the analysis happens where the data already sits, there is no pipeline to build, no duplicate storage to pay for, and no file movement for your security team to review before the first query.
- Can my analysts use SQL, R and Python?
- Yes. The Portal provides SQL access through Google BigQuery, interactive R and Python in JupyterLab, and command-line access, so your analysts work in the tools they already know. Example notebooks are included to adapt, and the Knowledge Hub carries data dictionaries, best practices and FAQs inside the workspace.
- Can patient-level data leave the environment?
- No. Patient-level data stays inside the Portal. Your team can download aggregate and summary-level statistics, tables and figures for reports and publications, subject to the terms of service, so findings travel while the underlying records remain in the secure environment.
