Testimonials

We are proud to support thousands of
research scientists who are using Terra
to get their work done. Here is what
some of them had to say about their
experience.

Principal Investigators

“Moving to the Terra platform has been transformative for my team’s research. Terra provides us with a convenient and flexible way to run analysis workflows on the cloud and helps us ensure the computational reproducibility of our analyses. I recommend Terra as a great cloud-native option for anyone who needs to run bioinformatics workflows, especially on large datasets.”

BO LI, PHD

Director, Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Program, CIID, MGH
Member of the Faculty, Harvard Medical School
Associate Scientist, Klarman Cell Observatory, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard

“The platform provides a model for our work to be open-source, with excellent tools to manage user access and cloud computing costs.”

ALISA MANNING, PHD

Assistant Investigator
Clinical and Translational Epidemiology Unit, Mongan Institute
Massachusetts General Hospital

Computational scientists and data engineers

“I really appreciate how Terra ensures computational reproducibility for collaboration and code sharing, while
still providing plenty of flexibility for customization.”

AMELIA WEBER HALL, PHD

Postdoctoral Fellow, Computational Biology
Cardiovascular Research Center, Massachusetts General Hospital
Cardiovascular Disease Initiative, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard

“I love the philosophy behind Terra most of all: unifying the way we all work together on a highly collaborative project and handling shared data in a very clean way. It’s super sleek, well-implemented, and well-supported.”

KATHLEEN MORRILL

Genomics Ph.D. Candidate
Dog Aging Project Team Member
University of Massachusetts Medical School

“Terra empowers our lab to conduct impactful biomedical research and allows us to showcase our methods and workflows as a model for the broader scientific community. Through the platform, we have been able to present our work in analyzing whole genome sequence data to a variety of audiences, and provide interactive tutorials on statistical genetics within a cloud computing framework.”

TIM MAJARIAN

Computational Associate
Manning Lab
Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard

“Terra is a key resource for us, as it gives us immediate access to the latest pipelines from the Broad in a form that is maintained and updated by the experts behind the methods in question, and so always reflects the current Best Practices. This takes away a lot of overhead that we would normally incur in keeping pipelines updated and implemented locally. We’re also impressed by the pipelines’ highly optimized use of Google Cloud infrastructure, which keeps running costs in the cloud to a surprising minimum.”

MATT BASHTON, PHD

Computational Associate
Manning Lab
Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard

“With these tools, I can easily run an analysis from start to finish, over and over again, and I can enable others to do the same without any additional effort.”

ANNA PAMELA CALINAWAN

Biomedical Software Engineer
Mount Sinai Health System

“The combination of Cromwell and Terra lets us take advantage of the best of both worlds: fast and free development on-premises and large-scale execution on cloud.”

JESSICA HEKMAN, DVM, PHD

Postdoctoral Scientist
Karlsson Lab
Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard

“Terra has enabled our group to collaborate more effectively and work towards fully reproducible science.”

CLAIRE MARGOLIS, BS, MS

Computational Biologist and Data Scientist
Van Allen Lab
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute

“Having our metadata and outputs organized in the data model was very useful.”

RYAN COLLINS, AB

Ph.D. Candidate, Harvard Medical School
NSF Graduate Research Fellow, Talkowski Lab
Massachusetts General Hospital and Broad Institute

“The cloud-computing aspect of Terra, in itself tremendously useful, particularly for laboratories that don’t always have direct access to high-performance computer clusters, is only the tip of the iceberg.”

MATTHIEU J. MIOSSEC, PHD

Bioinformatics Scientist
Center for bioinformatics and integrative biology
Universidad Andrés Bello

“With the ease and accessibility it affords, Terra has enabled our lab to leverage the power of the cloud to process, organize, and analyze our data on a larger scale.”
